I'm Lucy, an actor, musician, content creator and running lover. I have always loved running and used to compete from a young age, until I went to uni and performing became my life, and I didn't have the time or energy to run any more. Over the years, I've dipped in and out of running and have tried to rediscover my love for the sport again - to try and find a way to enjoy it for fun rather than competitively.

I really wanted to do the London Marathon this year but didn't get a place, so I've decided to try and do a half-marathon instead! I entered the Victoria Park half-marathon last year, but unfortunately got shingles (stress / anxiety-induced) and so therefore wanted to try again this year.

I've entered with Mind because mental health for me is incredibly important, having battled with my own brain throughout my life and having people close to me who have also suffered with various mental illnesses. It is something I care deeply about, having been through many tough periods in my life and having seen loved ones go through the same.

This is a challenge I've set for myself - to prove I can - and to try and raise some money for an incredible charity in the process.

Thank you so much for reading, and if you donated, THANK YOU! <3
