Mental health has impacted most areas of my life from family, work and personal struggles. It is one of the most negelected aspects of our health yet one of the most common issues. Charities like MIND are there to help navigate these struggles and provide support in a system where it is increasingly difficult to get.

One of the biggest suggestions for anyone who suffers with their mental health is exercise and fitness which is how I ended up running this race. For anyone who knows me, knows that me and running have a love hate relationship so I thought I may as well do it for a cause that has helped me and many people I care about.

Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. But hundreds of thousands of people are still struggling.

We believe no one should have to face a mental health problem alone. We'll listen, give you support and advice, and fight your corner.
