On April 19th I will take on my first ever marathon and if that goes well I hope to do another one in October. I am raising money for the marathon and for the great north run in September. I have been competing in lots of running events over the past year such as 10kms and half marathons. I’ve been working and training hard so I’m hoping it will all pay off.

I have chosen mind because running has really helped with my mental health and has made me a happier and more confident person.

I really appreciate any donations.

Thank you

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