Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Run Every Day (or R.E.D) January is a charity challenge helping to shine a light on mental health issues. The plan is to run every single day in January to raise money for Mind.

I am setting myself slightly more of a challenge by aiming to run the distance of 4 marathons over 31 days (around 104 miles but not all at once!)

As someone who lives with a mental health problem I know how important running outside is for my mental health. Although it can be hard to get out sometimes (especially in the cold, dark rain!) I know that it generally always makes me feel better. I am hoping that having a purpose will also keep me tying up my laces throughout January.

I may be biased but Mind is an incredible charity and is needed now more than ever. They provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem, campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding.

Mind also provides help and support directly to those who need it most with a network of more than 140 local Minds offering specialised support and care based on the needs of the communities they support.
