Great North run
In September 2021 I will be running the Great North run for the charity MIND. MIND are a charity that support and give advice to anyone suffering from mental health problems and also campaign to teach a greater understanding surrounding mental health. MIND also provides people who need it with emergency helplines, which can be beneficial in saving someone’s life.
I feel as if this charity is more important than ever. We are facing a mental health crisis in this country and those needing help are faced with prejudice and insufficient services due to funding. However MIND can and is changing that and is a 24/7 charity providing support to those who need it.
I myself have struggled severely with mental health issues, in particularly anxiety and MIND were extremely beneficial in helping me and giving me information and advice and reminding me it’s normal to sometimes not be okay.
The Great north run is a massive challenge for me and I’m looking forward to raising money and helping other.
