Since the start of June 2024, I began my running journey and within the first 3 months, I had already achieved massive personal goals, being able to run 5k, then 10k comfortably and now recently reaching 15k!

From the very start wanted to challenge myself and do something I never thought I would achieve, so now I have finally committed to running a marathon in June 2025! Over the past few years my mental health has not been the best, and running has really allowed me to build up my foundations again and prove to myself that I can achieve anything if I just go for it! This isn’t an easy thing for me to speak about but over time I know it’s all part of the process! So, I’d like to document my journey as much as possible whilst raising money for charity.

I have set up this JustGiving page to fundraise for ‘Mind’ as I feel there needs to be a big push for mental health support across the UK especially in young people like myself! If anyone would like to be a part of this journey, then please feel free to donate, and hopefully we can help raise awareness for other people that need support.

I know that it’s not going to be an easy challenge, and I will need to keep progressing each week but I am hopeful that I will be able to run the entire 26 miles!

Please feel free to share and support me on this journey because I know it’s going to be an interesting one!
