Hello there!

I've been running for about 3 weeks now, and like a typical bloke decided "yeah, I could do a half marathon"

...

I soon realised I'm going to need some support and motivation.

GCS is a counselling charity in Stroud that I first interacted with as a client when I was 18. Fast forward to now, and I'm a trained counsellor working for GCS and in my own practice, supporting people's struggles with their mental health. The cost to cover a session at GCS (the counsellor, the rooms, the clinical and administrative oversight etc) is £55. So I figured why not aim to pay for 10 sessions; sessions that could make a world of difference to someone who can't afford counselling.

Anything you can give will be hugely appreciated by GCS, and even more so by an amateur runner.
