I'm fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness!
On the 27th of April 2025 I am participating in the iconic London 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 severe mental health issues.
Mental health illness can affect anyone. As I found out in Jan 2020 when my physical and mental health was impacted and I had to take 3 months off work. I had never experienced mental illness before and it knocked me completely off kilter. A combination of life events and working myself into the ground culminated in my body and mind just shutting down. It took another 12 months for me to work my way back to better health but with a deeper understanding of the habits I had to break and the habits I have to maintain to ensure I look after my physical and mental wellbeing. I do that through being active and enjoy walking, running and rowing to help empty my mind from everyday stresses. I want to put being active to good use and raise money for charity!
Every donation counts towards my goal of reaching £2,000!
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.
