At the end of 2024, we tragically lost Rachel Cosgrave to a sudden and severe mental health crisis. This was a great shock to many of us as Rachel was warm, intelligent, thoughtful, generous, competent, and even-keeled. As we try to come to terms with what’s happened, Joseph, Rachel’s husband, and Tal, one of her colleagues, have decided that we’d like to do something beneficial that commemorates what a wonderful person Rachel was and show how many lives she touched. We are running* a 10K each month from May to December 2025 (full list below) and raising money for Mind. Mind is a charity focused on giving everyone who experiences mental health problems both support and respect. We have a fundraising target of £5000 for the year. Please donate what you can in memory of Rachel and to help support and empower anyone else who might be going through a mental health crisis. If you want to join us on any of the runs, or the walk, we would love to see you there!

Thank you so much! Joseph and Tal
