Fundraising for Mind
Story
This time last year I was walking with a crutch because I'd torn the lateral ligaments in my ankle.
In Jan 2015 I ran 5km for the first time IN MY WHOLE UNHEALTHY LIFE.
I have never been great at exercising but this is a charity I love and I want to raise money for them. This also seemed like the perfect way to achieve something that I find pretty difficult and altogether terrifying (which is also what Mind suggest to help you overcome depression. Two birds innit!)
Why terrifying? RUNNING. FOR OVER AN HOUR. WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WATCHING. IN TIGHT PANTS.
Why difficult? RUNNING IS HARD. I AM OVERWEIGHT. TIGHT PANTS.
Why do it? BECAUSE WHY NOT? FU ANXIETY
I hope you can help me to raise some pennies - even a 10p donation is hugely gratefully received by me and by Mind :)
