My Story

I have worked for South West London & St George's Mental Health NHS Trust for over 10 years, and appreciate the vital role it plays in supporting the health and wellbeing of the local community.

Unfortunately there is never enough funding to achieve all we might hope for. The charity raises funds to support projects for mental health patients, their carers and staff that go above and beyond what the NHS can fund. This may include providing instruments for music therapy, art work to improve clinic environments, or providing mental health first aid training for the local community. 

I started running during the first lockdown to try to find something positive out of a terrible situation. It certainly helped my mental wellbeing during a challenging time. Somehow I have continued, amateurishly, and with multiple injuries, but have not quite managed a proper race yet!  So I will use my debut in this 10k race through central London to hopefully raise some money for an important cause that is close to my heart.
