Anyone who knows me, fully understands that I am no runner!!

Inspired by my Supervisor, Jeff, and his own fitness challenge this year, I have decided to sign up to this years' Run the Runways challenge. Due to my own anxiety I am not feeling confident enough to attend the 1 LIVE run at Humberside Airport, but I am dedicated to achieve all 30 Virtual runs throughout September.

Mental Health matters have been significant to me throughout my life. I have had very difficult and challenging moments in my life with my own mental health. I have had family members and friends that have had, and still do struggle with their mental wellbeing. I am a strong believer in supporting the mental wellbeing of my own team at work, and reaching out to others to support them within my own Company and the wider Aviation Industry. It gives me pride to be able to try and raise some money for the Charity, Aviation Action.

Aviation Action is the UK’s only dedicated mental health and wellbeing charity for the aviation industry. Founded in 2020 by aviation professionals, for aviation professionals, they support anyone in aviation—past or present—through life’s toughest moments.

They shine a vital spotlight on the mental health challenges faced by aviation professionals—challenges that too often go unseen, unheard, and unsupported and believe no one in aviation should face difficult times alone.

They are there to listen, to guide, and to stand alongside every aviation colleague in need. Their aim is:

- To break the stigma in mental health.

- To start the conversation, and keep it going.

- To build a healthier, more compassionate future for our aviation community.
