Story

Follow my journey to raising awareness and money for Mind Charity.

I’ll be running the Manchester Marathon on Sunday 19th April 2026 to raise funds and awareness for Mind Charity. Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem, with hundreds of thousands of people struggling daily.

Friends, family members, colleagues you know, a person walking on the street could all be facing battles that we don't know about.

It's important to raise awareness, to show that it's ok to talk, that you are not alone and to highlight that there are services out there that can provide you with support, help and guidance. Mental health matters.

Through raising these valuable funds, it helps them to continue the work they are doing to tackle mental health and support those in need.

Remember, if you are battling with mental health struggles, reach out to a friend, a loved one - it's ok to talk, you are not alone. If you do not feel comfortable doing that, contact the Mind helpline 0300 102 1234.
