In September 2026, I’ll be running the Great North Run for Mind, a charity very close to my heart. I’ve fundraised for them before, and this time it’s deeply personal—through my own mental health struggles and the loss of people in my life to suicide.

I’m not a runner, so this is a huge challenge, but that’s exactly why I’m doing it. Every step will be for those who are struggling, to remind them they are never alone.

Mental health is nothing to be ashamed of. I’m proud to support Mind and the vital work they do to offer hope, support, and understanding.

Rest in peace, Connor 🕊
