Hello, my name is Luke I’m 17 will be 18 in August and I’m running the great north run for the mental health foundation, I’m by no means a distance runner and have never run anything more then a 10km run but I aim to finish this run in less then two hours. I believe mental health is a very important thing in everyone’s life and cannot be stressed enough the role it plays in day to day life whether it’s getting up in the morning or not being able to sleep at night people’s mental health affects them in different ways, I believe this charity is a vital part in getting people the help that they need to overcome their challenges whatever they may be for a happier healthier life

Any donations are much appreciated
