London Landmarks Half Marathon for Mental Health UK

I'm taking on the challenge of running a half marathon to raise funds for Mental Health UK! 

This will be a huge step for me. I’m not a runner, and the longest distance I’ve ever completed is 10k (picture for proof, I still find it hard to beleive!)— but I hope with your support I can push myself to accomplish this. The race falls on my 35th birthday, and there's no better gift you could give me than a donation to this cause.

With approximately 7.5 million people in the UK living with a diagnosed mental illness, and an estimated one in four of us experiencing a mental health problem every year this cause is more important than ever.

 Like many others, I've experienced challenges with my mental health, but I’ve been fortunate to have a strong support network around me. I know that not everyone is so lucky, which is why ensuring access to help and resources is so important. Your support can play a key role in providing the vital services needed to make a real difference for those who are facing difficult times.

Mental Health UK is dedicated to providing essential support and resources to individuals and families affected by mental health challenges. With a focus on collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity, they are at the forefront of driving positive change within the mental health landscape.
