Over the course of my life so far, I have realised how much mental health issues effect those we love. However, with nearly 80,000 children and young people suffering from severe depression in the UK alone, with an additional 300,000 suffering from an anxiety disorder, I believe more action should be taken to lower these numbers. That is why I am running 10K for the YoungMinds charity.

YoungMinds is the UK's leading charity championing the wellbeing and mental health of children and young people. Driven by their experience, YoungMinds creates change so that children and young people can cope with life's adversities, find help when needed and succeed in life.

Thank you.
