Help Me Go the Extra Mile – For Minds & A Garden That Matters
I’m running 10K for John Hall Wellness Gardens – and I need your support!
On Sunday 18th May, I’ll be lacing up my trainers and taking on only my second ever 10K run – a personal challenge made even more meaningful by the cause I’m running for: The John Hall Wellness Garden, a project of Rethink Mental Illness Charity.
Just over a year ago, I was struggling to bend my leg due to bursitis in my knee. Now, after months of recovery and determination, I’m not just running for myself – I’m running to raise vital funds for a garden that nurtures mental health, connection, and hope.
Why This Garden Matters
Nestled in the heart of a close community, the John Hall Wellness Garden is a sanctuary. It offers a peaceful, healing space where people can come together, find purpose, and reconnect with nature.
Funds raised through this run will help keep the garden blooming – and support exciting new projects, including:
- The Book Barn – a welcoming, community-built library filled with books and stories for all.
- Pond Rejuvenation – bringing life back to the garden’s pond with fresh planting and a soothing waterfall feature.
- And more ongoing work that helps this space remain a lifeline for so many.
How You Can Help
Every donation – no matter the size – brings us closer to a greener, more supportive community for those struggling with their mental health.
Support my run. Support the garden. Support a better tomorrow.
Thank you for being part of this journey – for both me and everyone the garden continues to support.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by mental illness.
