Mental health affects so many of us - whether personally or through those we care about. For me, running has always been a great way to support my own mental well-being. So, I thought, why not take on a few challenges that not only benefit me but also help raise funds for others?

I’ve chosen to support Health in Mind, a fantastic Scotland-based charity dedicated to mental health.

This fundraiser isn’t just about one race - it’s a triple challenge! That means even more value for your support. The first 2 are now completed:

27th April 2025 - Balmoral Trail Run (15 miles) - 19th/444 - 1:54:13

11th May 2025 - Loch Leven Half Marathon (13.1 miles) - 62nd/789 - 1:31:19

With just the big one to go:

29th June 2025 - Lairig Ghru race - through the Cairngorm mountains from Braemar to Aviemore, rising to 835m between some of the highest peaks in Britain (43km or just over a marathon)
