Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I will be 60 and what better way to celebrate than to run a marathon!! Mad fool!! I have chosen the Edinburgh marathon on Sunday 25th May because it is supposed to be flat! I have decided to support and raise awareness of a new charity tackling mental health issues, MQ: Transforming Mental Health. This is a subject close to my family's heart. Over the years, as I have talked to friends and relatives, I have found that we are not alone - many are living and battling with mental health issues that have impacted on their daily lives for many years. Most do not adequately respond to current medications or therapy. MQ: Transforming Mental Health is examining the scientific basis of mental illnesses in an effort to find better targeted treatments to improve mental health and quality of life. If by reading this, I have raised awareness of mental health being valued as physical health, that will please me, but if you feel MQ: Transforming Mental Health is something you might like to support I would be extremely grateful for any sponsorship you might be able to offer.
