I'm lacing up my running shoes to raise money to support Young Minds!

I have two sons Ben and Max, who at 17 and 23 are growing up so quickly. As a mother I have been there to support them growing up and there have been times where I have had to pull on all my resources to support them through difficult times and have even ended up in counselling myself to be able to support myself while doing this. I am a lioness with my little cubs, although they're way bigger than me now I know they still both rely on me for mental support.

I didn't know about Young Minds when we needed support but I'm glad I do now.

YoungMinds is the UK's leading charity championing the wellbeing and mental health of children and young people. Driven by their experience, YoungMinds creates change so that children and young people can cope with life's adversities, find help when needed and succeed in life.
