I would like your help in fundraising for mental health in support of two half marathons I am running in the next 8 weeks.

I can testify first hand that even if on paper you have a great life, if you are struggling with your mental health, nothing else matters.

Conversely, if you take care of your mind, you will be surprised at how much challenge you can withstand with perfect equanimity.

Unfortunately, mental health care is subpar in most of the world and remains a stigmatised and misunderstood topic.

Charities like Mind do provide great support and education, and do everything they can to help anyone who needs or seeks support.

This is why I would love to raise some funds for Mind, the mental health charity.

I run mostly because it helps me keep my mental health in check, and it would be great if my running could also help others through donations to Mind.

Thank you for your generosity.
