On the 13th of April 2025, I’ll be running the ABP Newport Marathon to raise money for Mind, a charity very close to my heart.

Mental health affects so many people, and Mind’s work ensures that no-one has to face these challenges alone. Every donation, no matter the size, helps them provide support, raise awareness, and advocate for better mental health services.

This isn’t my first fundraising challenge for Mind. In 2023, I ran the London Marathon and, thanks to the generosity of family, friends, and colleagues, raised £1,346 towards their fantastic work. It was an incredible experience, and I’m excited to lace up my running shoes again a bit closer to home for this important cause. I will be aiming to beat my personal best (and only other) marathon time from the 2023 London Marathon of 05:23:27, and hopefully get close to my previous fundraising total.

If you’re able to donate, I’d be so grateful. Thank you in advance for your support—it means the world to me and to everyone Mind helps.
