Yarden's Half Marathon for Mental Health

I am not a runner. I never have been. But this year I have committed to running the SMH half marathon on 21/05/2023.
This is a huge challenge for me, considering a few years ago you wouldn't have been able to force me to run out of a burning building.

As I've been preparing for the run, I have noticed that it's not just about physical fitness and stamina, it's more about my mental strength and knowing that if I put my mind to something I can achieve it.
Not everyone is lucky enough to muster the mental strength to run a half marathon, some people use all their strength to get out of bed in the morning, to book a therapy session and even to eat a meal.

So for my half marathon, I will be raising money for the Black Dog Institute.

BDI is a not-for-profit organisation and world leader in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental illness such as depression, bipolar disorder and suicide.

Let's get running!!!
