My Story

Hi everyone,

I'm really excited to have been given the chance of taking part in the London Marathon at the end of April having always wanted to be a part of such a great event. So far I'm enjoying my training, mainly around the beautiful Richmond Park, which am lucky enough to have on the doorstep. Gone are the days of winnng sprints and cross country steeplechases but it is good to be reminded that I still know how to run reasonably well!

For me however, this is more about the physical & mental challenge, and raising money for Mind the mental health charity, as well as trying to raise more awareness for the crucial role that mental health plays in all of our lives. Mental health is a subject close to my heart and one that has always been very important to me, personally and professionally in light of the job I have been doing for nearly 2 years.

I have chosen Mind as this is an organisation who strive to support those suffering with mental health conditions, whose work is invaluable to so many. I believe there should always be help available to us all, especially those who are suffering. Mind strives to fight for the right support.

I would be so grateful for any support you feel you can give me.

Look forward to updating you on my progress.

Thank you, Catriona x
