I'm running the London Marathon in memory of my brother (Matt), who took his own life earlier this year. He was only 29 years old. Matt had battled with his mental health for the majority of his adult life.

Matt shared his mental health battles with his friends through social media, and in doing so has built an incredibly supportive network of friends. Matt opened doors to allow people to share their struggles with others.

I am running the London Marathon for Mind to honour my brother. Mental health issues are rife amongst young adults, and I want to raise funds to support the lifesaving work that Mind do. I want no-one to have to go through and experience anything that my brother did. I am running the London Marathon to support Mind's work to make mental health a priority.

Above all else, I want to run the London Marathon for Mind to raise funds for Mind's life saving work, and to prevent other families and friends from having to experience what we have been through.
