I started 2024 saying that's it.. I'm having a year off .. This is a Marathon free year.. but then through an amazing colleague i was made aware of a Charity that touched my heart (not least due to the passion demonstrated by their CEO, Tien Kuei - a truly inspirational Woman) and decided I wanted to do something to support them..

I myself have been impacted by Mental Health issues.. and I've had some very dark times...but I'm lucky .. in addition to some amazing friends who've been there for me every step of the way, I have a good income and an employer that have afforded me the resources to help support me through this .. But not everyone is as fortunate as me..

Power to Live Foundation, provides behavioural therapy services mainly to individuals from low- or no-income backgrounds. Power to Live Foundation is committed to breaking down financial barriers that prevent individuals from accessing crucial behavioural therapy support. I firmly believe that mental health support should be accessible to all, regardless of income or financial resources. The foundation provides therapy sessions, support groups, and resources to empower individuals and promote their mental well-being.

This amazing charity changes lives for those who truly need it.. but being a small relatively unknown one there are challenges to survive and make ends met in the current climate and they face significant battles to receive the support and donations necessary to make their goal a reality.

So here I am.. in a supposedly Marathon free year about to tackle Marathon number 9 for Power to Live.. To try and help them make a difference to those that need it.. Please support me to raise money for this truly deserving Charity!
