Story
Firstly, thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
On Sunday 29th November 2026, I am taking on the challenge of running the Doncaster 10k event for a charity close to me called 'Mind', and while raising awareness for mental health, I'm also trying to raise as much vital funds for them to be able to continue offering the amazing services they provide each day.
I am also on the waiting list for the Doncaster City Half Marathon for next year, and I will keep you updated if I am selected to participate.
- Why Mind matters to me:
Mental health is something that affects every single one of us, yet so many people still face their darkest moments completely alone. Running has been a massive pillar for my own mental well-being, I only personally started running in March 2026, but it has really helped me in so many ways,, and I want to use this in a positive way to encourage others to take up running, and maybe it helps others like it has for me, while also helping raise money for Mind who do great things for Mental Health, not just for runners like me, but for those that just don't channel their issues through running, but also those that just need that support, and that's exactly where Mind comes in.
Mind does incredible work across England and Wales to ensure that no one has to face a mental health problem by themselves. They support a massive network of local crisis centers, provide a life-saving information helpline, and actively campaign for fairer mental healthcare laws.
How your donations help:
Every single pound makes a massive, measurable difference. Mind relies heavily on our support to keep their services running:
• £7 can pay for booklets that give someone crisis guidance when they don't know where to turn.
• £15 can keep their online peer support community, Side by Side, safe and accessible for an hour.
• £30 can fund a call to the Mind Infoline, providing a vital lifeline to someone in acute distress.
I am training hard every single week to get race-ready, and I have connected my Strava app to this page so you can watch my progress (and hold me accountable!).
Any donation, big or small, means the absolute world to me and will directly help change lives.
Thank you so much for your support! 💙
