Running a marathon for Team Brave

In a moment of complete madness, and having not been for a run in two years, I decided to sign up to take part in the Yorkshire marathon (20th October 2024). To try to make the pain worth it, I decided to try to raise some money for Team Brave!

Team Brave are based in Bristol, and provide free football sessions for all, with a focus on mental health and creating a support network for participants. For a better explanation of what they are about, watch their video here https://www.teambrave.net/our-mission.

Having the training sessions and matches be free is an important part of keeping them inclusive for everyone in the local community, but also means that the costs of pitch hire and equipment have to come from elsewhere. I've personally massively benefited from being part of Brave over the last year, and I'd love to be able to help them carry on the amazing work that they're doing.
