My Story

Even though 1 in 4 people have mental health problems, most of us don’t get the help we need.

This has to change, having experienced this myself and seen it in my close friends, colleagues within the Fire and Rescue Service and family I wanted to take this opportunity to raise awareness whilst raising money for Mind by taking part in the London Marathon.

We’re Mind. We’re here to fight mental health. For support for respect, for you.

We change minds across England and Wales by making mental health an everyday priority. By standing up to the injustices – in healthcare, in work, in law – which makes life harder for those of us with mental health problems.

We support minds – offering help whenever you might need it through our information, advice and local services.

And we connect minds. Bringing together an unstoppable network of individuals and communities – people who care about mental health to make a difference.

Join us in the fight for mental health. We won’t stop until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect.
