Valencia Marathon 2026🩷

In December, I’ll be taking on my second marathon and my first marathon abroad, running the Valencia Marathon, and this time I’m running for a cause that really matters.

I’m fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness, a charity supporting people severely affected by mental illness, as well as their families and carers. They provide vital advice, information, support services and peer groups, while also campaigning to tackle stigma, discrimination and improve mental health care.

Mental illness affects so many people, yet it can still be something that’s difficult to talk about. Rethink works to make sure people don’t have to face it alone, and that they have access to the support, understanding and respect they deserve.

So, over the next thirteen weeks I’ll be back to marathon training with a little ultra marathon in the middle! 😂

If you’re able to, I’d really appreciate any donation you can make, no matter how big or small. Every donation helps Rethink continue providing support and advice, running groups and services, and campaigning for better care for people affected by mental illness.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and for supporting me on the journey to Valencia. ❤️

Every pound makes those 26.2 miles feel a little bit easier.

Thank you! 🙏
