This November I will be running the Florence Marathon with my beautiful friend Rosie in my heart. It is for this reason that I have chosen to run in aid of the Charlie Waller Foundation.

The Charlie Waller Foundation aims to teach and support people, young and old, by helping them to gain awareness and confidence to talk openly about mental health.

I have been training through the Dorset fields, the Edinburgh rain and the busy streets of London in preparation.

Running a marathon is a personal challenge. I feel ready for it and actually, almost, dare i say it excited. But what really motivates me, when the going gets tough which it will, is that I will be raising money in honour of gorgeous Rosie, and anyone else who may be struggling, for a charity that I believe can and will make a difference.

I am so grateful for any donations, however big or small. All the proceeds will go straight to the foundation, which will help to create a world where conversations about mental health are encouraged and the right support is more readily available and to fundamentally make sure that nobody feels alone.

Thank you so much for all your support. You have made a difference.
