I’m running the Ipswich Half Marathon for Suffolk Mind because mental health is something that has affected so many people close to me. I’ve seen friends, family members, and loved ones battle with their mental health and eating disorders, and I know how difficult those struggles can be — not only for the person going through it, but for everyone around them too.

I wanted to take on this challenge to raise money for a cause that provides real support to people when they need it most. Suffolk Mind does incredible work helping people access mental health support, guidance, and education, and every donation will help them continue making a difference.

This run is for everyone who has ever struggled in silence, fought battles people couldn’t see, or needed support during difficult times. Running 13.1 miles will be tough, but it’s nothing compared to what so many people deal with every single day.

Any donation, no matter how small, would mean so much — thank you for supporting me and an amazing cause.
