Every day, one in five children and young people face a diagnosable mental health issue. That means in every classroom, there are about six children dealing with conditions like depression or anxiety. This is a reality that can’t be ignored.

I’m taking part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon on 11 October 2026 to raise funds for Place2Be, the UK’s leading school-based mental health charity. Place2Be provides crucial support to children, families, and school staff right when they need it most. Their work helps ensure that no child has to face mental health challenges alone.

I’m aiming to raise £1,000 to support this vital cause. Your donation can make a real difference—helping Place2Be continue their essential services and bring hope to so many young lives. Please join me in supporting Place2Be by contributing today and spreading the word about this important cause.
