Hi everyone,

My friend Sophie and I are running the Oxford Half Marathon together in memory of our beautiful friend, Jude, who we sadly lost to suicide not long ago.

Jude is deeply missed every single day. This run is to honour her, but to also raise awareness around mental health and to support the vital work for those who are struggling.

We’ve chosen to raise money for Mind, a charity that was close to Jude’s heart. Jude even completed a skydive in 2021 to raise funds for Mind, who had been big support to her.

If you’re able to donate, we’d be incredibly grateful.

Thank you for reading. ❤️
