Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. On my 23rd Birthday (the 11th of May) I'm going to run 1/2 a marathon to raise money for The Jasmine Foundation!

The Jasmine Foundation was set up by Jasmine's parents, Sarah and Charles, and is dedicated to raising awareness about young people's mental health. I'm running in memory of Jasmine, Celia, and Maddy who tragically all lost their lives to suicide.

These 3 friends, through life and death, have a profound impact on my outlook on life. Not a day goes by where I don't think of them and I am eager to do as much as I possibly can to support young people with their mental health challenges.

My first 7 kilometres will be dedicated to Jasmine, who was 14 when she lost her life.

The next 7 kilometres will be dedicated to Celia, who was 21 when she lost her life.

And the final 7 kilometres will be dedicated to Maddy, who was 22 when she lost her life.

I've been running for less than a year (so it will definitely not be the speediest 1/2..!), and have always had this as a goal in my mind - each step on my runs has been fuelled and motivated by the idea that I can do something bigger and to show myself and others difficult things are possible. I'll be running by the river near where I live to be alone with my thoughts on this - but promise I will update this page with proof I've completed it!

Your donation's are hugely appreciated, youth mental health intervention is incredibly close to my heart, and I will continue to support it for as long as it exists. Thank you for taking the time to read a little about this plan.
