Join the Movement: Fundraising for Mental Health UK

When my best friend, Lou, said she had signed up for the London Landmarks Half Marathon, I just had to support her! 

Lou was diagnosed with breast cancer when we were in our early 30’s and since then we regularly fundraise. However, we’ve never taken on a half marathon! I’m a mixture of nervous and excited but absolutely proud to be running by her side.

I’m running for Mental Health UK because we’ve all been affected by poor mental health, whether our own or someone close to us.

The right support can change a life and I hope the money I raise can go some small way towards this.

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.

Two days to go!

Friday 4th Apr
Well, training’s done, the half marathon dreams (not nightmares luckily!) have started and there’s nothing more I can do now! 

I’ve been tapering this week so just short runs and increasing my carbohydrate intake starts today! 😋 
Really looking forward to being on the start line and getting the half marathon underway. It’s all an unknown and there’s due to be 20,000 other runners so it’s going to be a pretty big event. 

Lou and I are excited to cross that finish line together, after months of training. In fact, because we live at opposite ends of the country, we’ve never even run together either! 

Anyway, it’s going to be an incredible experience. Thanks to all those who have sponsored me, I appreciate your generous donations so much xx

Training continues!

Wednesday 26th Feb
So, I haven’t updated my page in ages but training has been going on behind the scenes!
I’m now running about 35km+ every week and completed my longest run of 14.5km a few weeks ago.
It’s even got to the stage where I’ve had to buy some more running trainers as my old ones had done over 430km and not supporting my feet anymore!
These next 5 and a half weeks will see the final push in my training to get me ready for the big day 😊

Still going!

Thursday 3rd Oct
Throughout September I’ve been training regularly twice a week and built up some longer runs of 10km!
Really pleased with my progress, it’s just those Yorkshire hills that I struggle with!

21/08 - another training session

Friday 23rd Aug
Another run this evening, feeling good!

Training started in earnest today!

Monday 19th Aug
Completed 5.5km run today, really pleased as it’s a good start but know I’ve a long way to go!
