Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.

I will be running this year's Swansea Half Marathon in memory of my old pal Mal, and to raise money for this wonderful charity.

Mal and I were best friends for almost 50years, so losing him was, and still is, really tough. Mal struggled his whole life with mental illness, but we were so close that he would always talk about anything and everything.

Seeing the work that the 4Nicky Foundation do in trying to break the stigma about mental health and promoting more open dialogue is just incredible. Knowing that Mal knew he could talk to me (and lots of our close friends) and would not be judged must have been a great comfort. This has made me want to fund raise for The 4Nicky Foundation, in the hope it will help them reach as many people who need support as possible.

Thanks for reading, and if you are able to support with a donation it will make a huge difference.
