London Landmarks Half Marathon for Mental Health UK

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. 

My name is Khadija and on the 6th of April 2025 I will be running the London Landmarks half marathon half marathon. I’m raising money for Mental health Uk; a charity that challenged the causes of poor mental health and gives people the tools they need to have a better quality of life at home, school, work etc. Mental health Uk has the aim to support people whose lives are affected by mental health problems and encourages people to reach out for help  and navigate through the system to get the right support.

I've struggled with my mental health for as long as I can remember. I suffered from severe anxiety and panic attacks when I was younger. At around the age of 15 things went downhill very quickly I got diagnosed with depression and a couple years later I developed Anorexia and Bulimia from which I'm fully recovered now. When I was 18 I got diagnosed with borderline personality disorder which I still struggle with. 

After a couple of hospital admissions, receiving 1:1 therapy and group therapy, things started to look up and I am finding happiness in the things that I once used to enjoy before getting ill. Getting help for mental illness wasn’t easy for me as I feared people were going to judge me or see me differently and I’m sure that unfortunately lots of people out there feel the same way. 

Raising money for Mental Health Uk will hopefully help so many people overcome dark times and make suicide prevention a priority.

Thank you so much for your support :)
