At the start of 2024, we lost our mum, Janice Fiore, suddenly. She struggled with her mental health for a long time and, sadly, lost the fight.

I wanted to help people who are struggling with their mental health and show them that they are not alone. The first thing that came to my mind was Mind, as they were so helpful to my mum.

I chose to run a half marathon because, after losing our mum, running became an important way for me to cope. It helped me process my grief and support my own mental health, it makes me feel like anything is possible.

I wanted to challenge myself and support a cause that truly matters, and this is the best way I can do that.

If you could donate anything, it would be amazing and would go a long way in helping so many people who are struggling.

And if you are struggling or know someone who is, please don’t hesitate to talk to them or reach out for help. Just showing that you care could make all the difference.
