Great West Run to support Student Minds - May 2025

A group of family and friends are coming together to raise funds for Student Minds, the UK’s student mental health charity, by running the Great West Run half marathon on Sunday 25th May. Annie (mum), Emily (auntie), Kelly (friend), and Rosa will all be running the half marathon, while cousins Edie and Ida (aged 10 and 12) will take on the mile race.

This is especially significant as it will be Annie and Kelly’s first-ever half marathon! The team's combined efforts are all in support of Rosa, who will be summiting Mount Kilimanjaro in August 2025 with Choose A Challenge to raise funds for Student Minds.

Student Minds works to empower students to prioritize their mental health, offering workshops, staff training, and both online and physical spaces for students to seek support.

This cause is particularly close to our hearts as Rosa is currently pursuing her degree at the University of Leeds, where mental health support is more important than ever. ‍

Any donations would be greatly appreciated as we work together to support Rosa and this important cause!
