I’m running the Larking Gowen Ipswich Half Marathon on 27 September 2026 for Suffolk Mind because mental health matters to everyone, and I want to help make Suffolk the best place in the world to talk about and take care of it. Every step I take will raise vital funds that go straight back into local services — from counselling and therapeutic support to training and wellbeing programmes that help people across our county feel supported when they need it most. Whether it’s someone facing anxiety, depression, or simply wanting to look after their mental wellbeing, Suffolk Mind provides practical, accessible help right here where we live. Training for my next half marathon is a personal challenge that pushes my own limits, but doing it for this cause gives every mile real purpose — turning my effort into real impact for friends, family, neighbours, and the wider community. If you’d like to support me, every donation, no matter how small, will make a genuine difference.
