Back in June, on a sunny day over a glass of prosecco, we were talking about how to mark our upcoming half century in 2026 and came up with.....let's run a half marathon!!! So in April 2026, we will be lacing up our running shoes and taking on the huge challenge of running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Mind the mental health charity which funds vital mental health support services. It's the longest run we have ever done and for those that know us will know we're not natural athletes so it's a massive challenge!!

We'll be running for a cause which means a lot to us as we both have close family members who have experienced mental health challenges.

Mind provides resources, guidance, and a voice for those who feel unheard. Their work helps break the stigma, open doors to support, and remind people that they’re never alone.

Running 13.1 miles is no small feat, but every step we take is for everyone who has struggled with their mental health and those that support them. We're running to celebrate their courage, to honour their journey, and to help ensure that Mind can continue to be there for others.

If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, you’ll be helping Mind support more people in crisis, fund vital services, and change lives.

Thank you for supporting us and for standing up for mental health.

Rachel & Alex
