Last year, after crossing the finish line of the Southampton Marathon, I promised myself... never again. Yet here I am, gearing up to take on the challenge once more at the ABP Southampton Marathon on April 6, 2025.

This time, my motivation runs deeper than just personal achievement; I am committed to raising vital funds for Solent Mind, a charity that holds a special place in my heart.

Solent Mind provides essential support to individuals facing mental health challenges during their most difficult times. Their work is crucial in fostering hope and resilience within our community. By participating in this marathon, I aim to raise at least £500 to help them continue their invaluable services. However, if we can reach an incredible £1,000 together, I will don some fancy dress for one of the laps!

I invite you to join me on this journey. Your support can make a significant difference in the lives of those who need it most. Together, let’s run for a cause that truly matters and inspire change within our community!
