Positive mental health and wellbeing is a cause close to my heart and it means a lot to me to be running the AJ Bell Manchester half marathon on Sunday 18 May, raising vital funds for Mind.

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me and helped to smash my original fundraising goal of £300! This is my first half marathon so your donations are keeping me going and helping keep the nerves at bay!

Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. But hundreds of thousands of people are still struggling.

We believe no one should have to face a mental health problem alone. We'll listen, give you support and advice, and fight your corner.

When you're experiencing a mental health problem, supportive and reliable information can change your life. That's what we do. We empower people to understand their condition and the choices available to them through the following:

Our Infoline, which offers callers confidential help for the price of a local call.

Our Legal Line, which provides information on mental health related law to the public, service users, family members/carers, mental health professionals and mental health advocates.

Our award-winning information, certified by the PIF Tick.

Donate today and join the fight for better mental health.

Thank you,

Laura xxx 🌻
