27 miles in 27 days for Mind

This March, I am running 27 miles in 27 days for the charity, Mind,which offers mental health support for students and people who are struggling mentally at the moment, and it is clear that a lot of people are. The reason why it is called the 27/27 challenge is because 27%of university students report a mental health problem whilst they are at university. The number of students reporting a mental health problem is five times greater today than it was ten years ago and three times more students are dropping out of university because their mental health.

A friend told me about the challenge and I loved the idea and I think it will be a good thing to do. I am putting a lot of stuff on my social media about it to help raise awareness for Mind and mental health in general, and also I have set up a fundraising page for my challenge. All the money will go to the charity and that money will hopefully help Mind support others who are struggling.
