I'm fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness!

This year on my birthday, instead of 18 Guinness', several pizzas and retrospective Sunday scaries, I thought it would be a great idea to run around Valencia... because apparently that's what a mid-life crisis looks like now.

My goal? Finish the Valencia Marathon in under 3 hours. That's 26.2 miles at a pace that will have me questioning every life decision from about mile 20 onwards.

But this run is about much more than a finish time...

I'm raising money for Rethink Mental Illness, an incredible charity that supports people living with mental illness, campaigns for better mental healthcare, and works tirelessly to tackle the stigma that still surrounds mental health.

Mental health affects millions of us—whether personally or through someone we love. Every donation, no matter how big or small, helps Rethink continue their life-changing work and reminds people that they don't have to face their struggles alone.

If you'd like to support me (or simply reward me for voluntarily running on my birthday), I'd be hugely grateful for any donation.

And remember...

Depression can't catch a moving target. 😄

Thank you for helping me turn sore legs into something that can genuinely make a difference for myself and the many others
