Hello, I’m marcus and for the next on the 7th September I will be attempting a marathon (26.2 miles or 41KM) in London to raise money for MIND and to raise awareness for mental health.

For the last 3 years I have been suffering with bad mental health, including suicidal thoughts, depression and OCD intrusive thoughts. MIND holds a very close place in my heart and what they do for speaking out and helping people is truly incredible. 

Having lost a friend to the battle and having family who have suffered in the past, my goal is to spread the word of mental health and make people realise it is OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY. Speaking out is such a beautiful thing and it genuinely does save lives!!

On the 7th September, I will be travelling to London to completed 26 miles of running alongside Russ Cook who to be honest is my biggest inspiration. Honestly can’t wait!
