My Story

The irony isnt lost on me that as I sit to write this, tomorrow is the 2nd anniversary of the death of one of my dear friends. She committed suicide. The outpouring of love for her that followed her death, and continues to this day, is incredible. If only she had realised how loved she was, would she have done what she did? That is a question we have asked many times and one to which we will never know the answer. 

1 in 4 people struggle with thier mental health and most dont get the help the need. Ciara was one of these poeple. In men, the biggest killer of males between the ages of 25 and 40 is themselves! And this has to change. 

Thats why I have chosen to run the London Marathon for Mind. They're here to fight mental health. For support for respect, for you.

They 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.

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

And they 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.
