My ultimate goal is to raise money for a meaningful charity that helped me with my mental health during a difficult point in my life. Challenges with Mental Health have been present throughout my life. From losing close relatives, struggles at university to stress and difficulties in the workplace. Mindspace helped me at a point that I was questioning a number of things in my life and supported me to get back on track and thinking positively about myself and my life.

Mindspace support those living in Perth and Kinross struggling with their mental wellbeing through a variety of ways from Counselling, Peer Support and the Recovery College no matter your background or circumstances.

Running supports my mental health by helping me battle the negativity and challenges I face in everyday life. Running offers me a space where I don't need to think or dwell on a problem but instead it's just me and the path ahead. I can run up a hill if I need to show myself that a problem is small and I can overcome it. I can run next to a river and know that a moment isn't forever and too shall pass. Or I can run on a treadmill and can think to myself.... "when can I get off".

Not only will I be running the Edinburgh Marathon but my training will include running over a marathon every week. I will also be running the Dundee half-marathon.

My goal of £3220 is because in my family 322 is a very important number and if you see that number it means that you are exactly where you are meant to be. This is sign from past loved ones looking out for me and keeping me right.

Any donation that you can make will be greatly appreciated and used to help fund the services at Mindspace and all the good work that they do. Just imagine, every penny you donate will go towards helping someone else's mental health journey.
