We're taking on the Hackney Half Marathon in support of Mind in the City, Hackney and Waltham Forest.

Our mental health isn't just one part of our life - it touches everything. It's our relationships, our work and our physical health. It impacts the big moments in our lives and the everyday ones.

As pals who met at work and quickly became close, we know how important it is to have the support of people around you through life's ups and downs. That kind of support - someone to talk to, to lean on - is something everyone deserves.

But too many people are being left behind. Each year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem, and this figure is only set to rise. And at a time when services are being stretched and funding cut, charities like Mind are a lifeline for so many. They offer a range of support to members of the community who are looking to work on their mental health.

A small amount can go a long way, with just £25 paying for someone with serious mental health issues to attend a Managing Anger and Difficult Emotions group.

Any and all donations are welcome, and a big thank you for anything you can give! 💙
