Isle listen is a charity close to my heart and that’s not just because I’m biased and work there. 👀

Times are different, social media, the school environment everyone including young people face different challenges daily. Having a service that is able to offer a listening space at time of need for the young people on island really does provide early intervention equipping our young people with the confidence and skills to navigate those challenges when they arise.

Being able to run the London marathon and raise money for isle listen really feels like the crème de la crème for me personally as I hope to help raise awareness that our mental health is just as important as our physical health. You can’t have one without the other! Running a marathon you may think is all about physical endurance but as those miles tick along it’s the mental strength I need to rely on to pull me through.

Running , movement and sports has always been my crutch to keep my ticking but also the community of like minded people I’ve met along the way where we get to share the suffering. I know and have been told the community and spirit of the support in London marathon will get me to the finish line but equally when those miles get tough knowing I have any donations behind me to raise money for Isle Listen will help remind me that the community does care.

Thanks for reading if you got this far I will really be grateful of any dontations I also plan to put on some fundraising events, think stretch, social running, coffee, treats I hope to bring you along on my journey with this marathon block. Let’s do this !
