</div>
<div>Update: 10th April
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am overwhelmed by the incredible show of support from every single one of you. Your generous donations have been amazing, and I am beyond thankful for your sponsorship.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many of you know, running is a passion of mine, but the preparation for this event has presented challenges far beyond what I had ever anticipated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In just 11 days, hopefully, I will be nearing the finish line. My bib number for this event is 72545, so make sure to look out for me if you're tuning in. If you're planning to be there in person, I would be thrilled to know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am thrilled to announce that today, we reached a milestone - we broke the £2000 mark! This is a monumental achievement for such a great organisation. To keep the momentum going, I've increased the fundraising target. So, please continue spreading the word and sharing. Together, let's hit this target out of the park.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you all, once again, for your kindness and generosity. Let's keep going, and let's make this happen!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>----
</div>
<div>Just under 2 weeks to go now!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please continue help me raise as much money as possible for Open Door.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sophie and I were also on local radio a few weeks back:

</div>

</div>

</div>
<div>Update 22nd March
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi all, it's been an amazing week for donations and Sophie and I are grateful for all those that have sponsored us so far.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let's continue to raise as much as we can for this great charity.

</div>
<div>As a father of 2 I lace up my trainers for this year's London Marathon in support of a truly stand-out local charity, Open Door. Not one to miss out, my daughter Sophie will also be lacing up her trainers the day before to run the Mini London Marathon.
</div>

<div>You may not know but one in five children and young people in England aged eight to 25 had a probable mental disorder in 2023. The Mental Health of Children and Young People in England 2023 report, published by NHS England (<a href="https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/mental-health-of-children-and-young-people-in-england/2023-wave-4-follow-up)," target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/mental-health-of-children-and-young-people-in-england/2023-wave-4-follow-up" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/mental-health-of-children-and-young-people-in-england/2023-wave-4-follow-up</a>),</a> found that 20.3% of eight to 16-year-olds had a probable mental disorder in 2023. Among 17 to 19-year-olds, the proportion was 23.3%, while in 20 to 25-year-olds it was 21.7%.

</div>
