Hello family and friends,

I'm running the Oxford Half Marathon this October in memory of my beautiful, gregarious, and completely delightful cousin, Aisha, who we inexplicably lost earlier this year.

A run is entirely insufficient to remember Aisha and the fullness of her life. Everyone who knew and loved her carry her with us everyday - I'll just be doing it through these 13.1 miles in Oxford too.

Grateful for your support and any donation to Oxfordshire Mind, who helps over 10,000 people with mental health challenges every year. They promote good mental health through the provision of high quality services and campaigning for positive change. Their services include housing, a confidential and free information line, courses (such as practical ways to wellbeing), physical activity programmes, volunteering opportunities, and they facilitate over 30 peer-support groups each week.
