My Story

Mind is a charity dedicated to supporting people facing mental health challenges.

Sadly, 1 in 4 people struggle with their mental health but often receive no support due to long waiting lists, financial barriers, or a lack of resources. Mind works to change this through healthcare initiatives and campaigning for better legislation, making sure that help is available to those who need it most.

This cause is very close to my heart, as I’ve seen friends and loved ones face mental health difficulties. For young people especially, these struggles can deeply affect their lives - impacting education, careers, and relationships. Mind believes no one should have to go through this alone. Whether it’s a life-changing policy shift or something as simple as a helpline call, they make sure people can access vital support.

As I train for this marathon, I’ll be carrying with me the thought of all those who rely on charities like Mind, motivating each day of training. 

Every step of my training is fuelled by the thought of those who rely on charities like Mind.

Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference in the fight for better mental health support.

Thank you so much for your support,
