I'm fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness!
In September 2026, I am participating in the iconic Berlin Marathon to raise money for Rethink Mental Illness.
It is so important it is to have access to resources and support. That's why I am taking part in this event - to help Rethink Mental Illness continue its mission of improving the lives of those affected by mental illness.
Every donation counts towards my goal of reaching £1,500!
Your contribution will help provide vital services such as support groups, and educational resources for individuals and families affected by mental illness.
Together, we can make a difference.

Intro
Wednesday 17th JunIn September 2026, I will be taking on the Berlin Marathon in support of Rethink Mental Illness.
This challenge means a great deal to me because mental health has played a significant role in my life. Over the years, I have battled alcohol addiction and experienced both recovery and relapse. Through that journey, I have learned just how important mental health support can be and how many people struggle silently with challenges that others may never see.
Running has become a huge part of my recovery. It gives me structure, purpose and a positive focus, helping me improve both my physical and mental wellbeing. There have been times when running has helped me through some of my most difficult periods, which is why I wanted to use this challenge to support a charity that helps others facing their own mental health battles.
Rethink Mental Illness provides vital support, information and services for people severely affected by mental illness, while also supporting families and campaigning for change. The work they do changes lives every day.
I am aiming to raise as much money as possible to support their incredible work, and every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a genuine difference.
