Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. But hundreds of thousands of people are still struggling in silence.

Mental health is something that has affected me and also a large number of my loved ones and people I care about. to run Brighton 2026 for mind because it’s time that people stop suffering in silence. At the start of this journey 23 stone 4 lb I couldn’t believe what I had done to myself and how badly this was affecting my mental health.

Now I have lost over 4 stone I decided the next step was to do my second Brighton marathon and put myself in the ballot for London hopefully to support mind further.

The latest figures show in 2023 there were on average 19 suicides a day and when you think of this it’s sickening, it’s time for us to stick together and make a difference.

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.
