Darlington Mind is fantastic supporting people with mental health in Darlington, Durham, Hambleton and Richmondshire. Running has played an important part in my own mental health and I know for many fellow runners whether road races or trail marathons . So I'm running the 2024 Hardmoors Grand Slam ultramarathon series to raise money for this amazing charity. The Grand Slam is the Hardmoors 30mile, 55mi, 110mi and 60 mi events this year starting with the HM30 on Saturday 6th January and ending with the 60 on 21 Sep. The 55 and 110 events pass through Hambleton.

My goal is to raise £2,000 for Darlington Mind by the end of this challenge. Every donation counts towards helping this incredible charity continue their vital work. Whether you can donate or simply cheer me on during these races, your support means everything. And if you're feeling inspired, consider doing your own fundraising for Darlington Mind - every little bit helps.
