On the 29th September I am taking on the challenge of running the Lochness marathon. I am honoured to undertake this challenge in support of the Canmore trust - a charity dedicated to suicide prevention and postvention.

Mental health affects us all. Research by the British Dental Association shows that dentistry is associated with high levels of stress and burnout, with 17% of dentists surveyed stating they have seriously considered suicide. The Canmore trust offers vital support by creating safe spaces for those in need and individuals whose lives have been impacted by suicide.

On race day my daughter will have just turned 10 months old. I want her to grow up in a world where she feels kindness, compassion, and where she feels safe enough to stay - I believe the Canmore trust embodies this.

Any donation you could make to this wonderful charity would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support.
