I have sadly lost 3 friends to suicide and know many more people who are struggling with their mental health now or that have done in the past. Mental health charities like Mind are very much needed, especially in 2020.
Just as important is the Make a Wish Foundation who help make a wish come true for seriously ill children.
I am taking part in 'The Beast' for the November Challenge to raise money for these two great charities. In the process I will be documenting my challenge progress in the hope that I can inspire other people to take up running for the health benefits (especially mental health benefits).
