I’ve started running during the COVID lockdown. At the time it seemed to be a great opportunity to become fit and keep sanity throughout the pandemic. Meanwhile, it has become a habit for me. The more I think about how running makes me feel empowered, strong, happy and fit, the more I realize that it has become my way of keeping a strong head. Everyone deserves their mental health to be in a good place, and therefore I would like to support those who might need a little extra MIND support in my local community!

Mind BLMK works across our communities to support positive mental health and wellbeing. Working closely with a range of partners, we offer a number of activities from our wellbeing centres and local venues to make a difference to the mental health and wellbeing of people in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes, and our aim is to make sure that no-one has to face a mental health problem alone.
