London Landmarks Half Marathon for Mental Health UK

I'm taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Mental Health UK

For reasons unknown, I signed up to do two half marathons this year. My first was Warwick's Half Marathon in early February (the most hilly and hellish 13.1 miles of my life). Awful. 

Unfortunately, I had already committed to doing the second. I'm optimistic this one will be better - not only because there are fewer hills and more runners to compete against, but because it's for a cause that really, genuinely matters.

Not a single person reading this hasn’t had their (or a loved one's) mental health knocked sideways at some point in life. Maybe they've reached out for help, maybe they want to, maybe they feel like they can't. So I figured it was time to do my bit to support a charity that is dedicated to providing essential support and resources to individuals and families affected by mental health challenges. That includes me, and many of my peers, friends, family and people.

The downside? Running another 13 bloody miles. The upside? Anything I can raise helps Mental Health UK continue driving positive change in the mental health landscape. So please like, share, and, if you can, donate. Big big thanks x
