In December 2024, I lost a close friend to struggles with their mental health. It was a heartbreaking loss for all and a reminder of how vital support is when times feel impossible.

On the 12th October, I will be taking part in the Manchester Half Marathon and will be raising funds for Mind, a charity that makes sure no one has to face mental health challenges alone.

Every donation, big or small, will help someone get the support they need — and it’s a way to honour my friend’s memory.

Thank you so much for your support.
