I'm fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness!

In September 2025, I am participating in the iconic Great North Run to raise money for Rethink Mental Illness.
Some of you will know I've been on my own journey with my mental health, and it's not been easy. I visited their website so many times to access advice, information and other people's stories, which helped so much. I have followed their campaigns and really appreciate all the work they do to raise awareness and fight for people's rights.

It is so important 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.

Every donation counts towards my goal of reaching £350!

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.

Thank you to everyone that's donated so far, I really appreciate it! ❤️
A little update to how it's going...
The training is going well, especially considering I'm pretty much doing couch to half marathon 😊
I'm already finding benefits to my own mental health and every time I come back from a run or from the gym I feel so proud of myself and get a real buzz.
Just need to keep the momentum going now! 💪🏻
