Hi everyone!

I’ll be running my first 47 mile Ultra marathon around the fells of lake Windermere for all those struggling with mental health issues.

I myself have had poor mental health in my life. I was subject to childhood abuse which left me suicidal and subject to self - harm. I had years of medication and therapy from CBT to EMDR, and had a PTSD diagnosis in April 2023.. since breaking point I took up running as a form of therapy and self care, and have found an absolute love for it.

Men do not talk about their struggles, and that’s why we lose 12 men every day to suicide in the UK.

So FUCK being quiet about how you feel. Not only will you find the help you need, but you will motivate others to do the same, and that’s what I’m hoping to do.

“You are not the bad feelings you get in your head. You are not the storm you walk through. You are the person experiencing the storm. The storm may knock you off your feet. But you will stand once again. Either the weather will change or you will find shelter. Hold on.”

I’d consider myself a novice runner with the heart of a lion 😂, so there’s no chance I’ll be giving up.

PEACE AND LOVE
