Mental health has always been a big part of my life and is something that has made me who I am today.

As a teenager, I always felt like I was constantly fighting a war that only I could see. Towards the end of 2024, I reached my lowest point. I wanted the noise to stop and didn’t know what to do. I reached out to people, started voicing how I felt, and finally got the support that I needed. It wasn’t an easy process, but I learnt how to manage what I was feeling in healthier ways. Without my support network, my friends, my family, and professionals, my journey would be a lot different.

I started running to prove to myself that my brain could do more than what it was telling me. It quickly became much more than a little hobby and I quickly fell in love with putting my shoes on, leaving the house, and running for miles to shake off how I was feeling.

On 18th October 2026, I’ll be taking on the 26.2 miles of the Yorkshire Marathon in support of CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably). I’m raising money to help the people who find themselves in the position I once found myself in.

I want to show and prove to little Harvey that things do get better and there’s always sunshine in the darkness ❤️

Every penny helps to make a difference and change people’s lives for the better. Thank you so much for supporting my journey and helping to make a difference in someone else’s life.
