Hello!

Our country is facing a mental health crisis.

Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. Despite this, the funding for mental health services is inadequate, meaning hundreds of thousands of people are struggling.

I do not run, but I will be running the 2025 Manchester 10k in May to raise vital funds for Mind, a charity advocating for improvements to our mental health services as well as providing widespread advice and support.

My goal is to raise £250 - here are some of the ways Mind uses their donations:

1) £60 could help pay for Mind Infoline phone bills for a whole day: a service offering vital information and signposting

2) £260 could help keep Side to Side open for 8 hours: an online community for people to join, talk, and find support 247

3) £585 could help pay for the cost of a legal line advisor for 5 days: a service which provides information on mental health related law to the public, service users, family members/carers, mental health professionals, and mental health advocates.

Donate today, share this page, and join the fight for better mental health!

Thank you!
