Hattie's fund for Young Minds Trust
Hi everyone, on September 26th, i’ll be turning 26… this is my GOLDEN BIRTHDAY !!!
To ‘celebrate’ i’ve decided to complete a bit of a challenge. I’ll be running 26 miles in every week of September, that's 4 full weeks, totalling 104 miles for the month!
With this, i'll be raising money for Young Minds Trust, a mental health charity supporting young people up to the age of 25. Mental health is an ongoing crisis that i see everyday in the children and young people i work with, as well as within the social groups all around me.
In 2018 i lost a friend to suicide, and i can't help but wonder if things would be different if she had known about such a service. She was my Birthday Twin, and would have been 27 years old this year. So, i guess this means i'll be running 27 miles in that last week... cheers Steph!
So, to recap... i'll be running 26 miles per week (for 4 weeks) to reflect my 26 years... with an additional mile in that last week for my friend Steph who we lost, and would be turning 27 this year.
I know times are tough at the moment, and so any donation big or small will be greatly appreciated. If you’re unable to donate financially, please share my link, and for who wants to run with me please make yourself known!!! While i initially planned on raising £260 to stick with the theme, i’ve since doubled this to £520 due to the number of donations received so far. Please help me keep pushing to hit that number and more!
