I'm Running for Rethink Mental Illness

Hi I’m Becky and in September 2025, I’m running in the iconic Great North Run event. This will be my 3rd half marathon and the most rewarding one because I’m raising money for the charity Rethink Mental Illness.

Mental illness can be very isolating, lonely and not everyone speaks out about how they’re feeling, some don’t know who or where to turn to when they seek help. I know first hand how this can affect a person and their family. 

My dad sadly suffered from severe depression for years, and took his own life over 10 years ago now. 

Which is why it’s so important to have access to resources and support like Rethink Mental illness. 

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. 

Your contribution will help provide vital services such as support groups, educational resources for individuals and families affected by mental illness.

Every donation really does count. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Together, we can make a difference.
