I'm fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness in Memory of My Brother

Many people know we lost our brother just before Christmas last year, 21.12.2025. I remember it like it was yesterday but It's been a little over 6 months now.  Involved in a fatal car accident that the coroner ruled was in fact suicide. 


It's still quite raw and emotional writing about it now.  But i wanted to do something to help others just like my brother. 

Paul just couldn't seem to find the right help to help with his mental health issues.  It made him frustrated and angry, he just wanted someone to help understand what he was feeling and what he needed to do to help himself.

What i realised is there are so many mental health charities out there but because they are so under funded it's hard for them to get the word out or have enough support to help everyone.

So i will be running Valencia marathon in December and wanted to raise money for Rethink Mental Health Charity who offer support for people like my brother with more severe mental health illness such as bipolar and depression which Paul suffered from.

Even if you can only spare £1, collectively it all makes a difference.

Thank you so much,
