Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. In March 2016 I will be taking on the most demanding challenge of my life and attempt to complete the Bath half marathon (13.1 miles or 21 kilometres). This will be be over double the distance I have ever ran before and it is going to be SO HARD. I am determined  to finish it no matter how long it takes. To add to the challenge, I am also going to be running the Plymouth 10K just three weeks before the half marathon, then later in the year the Bristol 10K and Bristol half marathon.

I have chosen to fundraise for Bristol Mind  because they are doing incredible work within our city to:

• Be a resource for all people in Bristol who identify themselves as having mental health or emotional support needs, and those who support them
• Promote emotional and mental wellbeing through delivering high quality services in partnership with others
• To raise awareness of, and promote positive views about, mental illness

This year I have had an ongoing battle with anxiety and depression and this half marathon will be a personal achievement that will represent how far I have come. I am hoping my efforts will support Bristol Mind in their battle against the mental illness stigma!
