On May 31st, I’ll be taking on a half marathon to raise money for two causes that mean a lot to me — Mind and Willow Tree Hub Appeal.

Mental health is something I’ve personally struggled with over the years, which is why supporting charities and organisations that provide help, guidance and safe spaces for people going through difficult times is really important to me.

I’m also supporting the Willow Tree Hub Appeal because one of my rugby teammates works there, and hearing about the support they provide in the community made it a cause I really wanted to help raise money for as well.

This half marathon will definitely be a challenge, but I wanted to use it as an opportunity to give back and raise awareness at the same time. I’ve set this up as a team fundraiser so people can choose to support either charity — or both if they’d like to.

Any donation, no matter the size, would genuinely mean a lot. And if you can’t donate, sharing the page would be hugely appreciated too.

Thank you for the support ❤️
