My Story

I am privileged to be running the 2024 London Marathon for MIND - one of the UK's leading mental health charities. This is a charity incredibly close to my heart and close to the hearts of many of those we all know and love. Throughout my life I've seen many people struggling with their mental health both through school, university, work, family and friendship groups and not getting the support they need. Mental health does not discriminate, and it is important there is better understanding and support for this in our society. MIND's mission helps to spread this message and ensure people are able to speak up and get the support they need.

I now have the opportunity to run the London Marathon for MIND and I will be proud to raise money which helps MIND in achieving their mission. Please see more about MIND below and what they aim to achieve. Completing the marathon, raising money for a charity close to my heart and raising awareness will be a huge achievement for me and be the perfect way to celebrate the end of a tough journey.

Even though 1 in 4 people have mental health problems, most of us don’t get the help we need.

This has to change.

We’re Mind. We’re here to fight mental health. For support for respect, for you.

We change minds across England and Wales by making mental health an everyday priority. By standing up to the injustices – in healthcare, in work, in law – which make life harder for those of us with mental health problems.

We support minds – offering help whenever you might need it through our information, advice and local services.

And we connect minds. Bringing together an unstoppable network of individuals and communities – people who care about mental health to make a difference.

Join us in the fight for mental health. We won’t stop until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect.
