My Story

This May I will be running the AJ Bell Half Marathon in Manchester fundraising for mental health charity: MIND. 

1 in 4 of us will experience problems with mental health each year ranging from depression, anxiety, OCD, PMDD and so much more. Mind provides information and support to help people feel less alone in these difficult times. From my personal experience of mental health issues to learning to live with these problems, I knew one thing I wanted to do was raise more awareness on mental health and to try and help charities like Mind so that no one has to experience these thoughts alone. It's been over 2 years since I first sat down with a mental health professional and had the scariest and biggest conversation of my life but I'm so glad I did it. Please reach out if you need support whether it be doctors, friends, family or MH charities like MIND. This half marathon will be my longest run yet and my biggest physcial and mental challenge. 

Please help support me in fundraising for mind and donate today. Every pound helps and anything you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much x

Mind are an incredible charity that work to support people with mental health problems as well as providing life saving information to spread awareness and create change. They work across the country to fight for mental health trying to overcome inequalities and stigmas to support as many people as possible.
