Running a half marathon to raise money for Solent Mind

I have chosen raise money for Solent mind because as someone who has struggled and still struggles with their mental heath, I understand how important it is to have support and someone there to help.

One of the biggest challenges for someone who struggles with their mental health, is to reach out and say they need help. So I want to help ensure when someone finds the courage to reach out for support and takes the steps they need to get better, that they have the best help and facilitates available to help make make sure they’re not in that position again.

When taking part in this half marathon, I am running for myself, people who have suffered and people who are still suffering.
