I'm fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness!
I turn 60 next year. Any sensible person would have a party. Instead, I am celebrating the occasion by running the Berlin marathon on Sunday 27 September 2026!
This will be my hardest ever run. Yet many people face much tougher challenges every single day. I have seen many close friends, family members and work colleagues suffer from conditions like anxiety, depression, dementia and suicidal thoughts.
Nobody should suffer alone. Rethink Mental illness is a charity all about ensuring the right help for so many people with mental illness. I am running the Berlin marathon to raise money to enable Rethink to provide more support to the people who need it most. It is also a very apt way to raise money - running has been so important in maintaining my own mental fitness.
Whether my ageing knees can still complete a 26 mile course is another matter! To help me get around, I have enlisted the help of local personal trainer Sophie Moss. I would thoroughly recommend Sophie for all your fitness needs! Refyne Active | Discover Your Wellness Journey
Any support you can provide would be very much appreciated. All money raised will go directly to Rethink Mental Illness.
Thank you.
Neil
