I am running the Great North Run- half marathon- on the 11th September to raise money for “Together We CIC” who are a local Cumbrian charity with a mandate of empowering people to take control over their physical and mental health and wellbeing. Together We CIC offers therapeutic projects as well as traditional evidence based interventions such as cognitive behavioural therapy, Counselling and talking therapies. This is critical support for those struggling and having difficult accessing services in these challenging times.
I have chosen this fantastic CIC having had personal experience with close family who have fought bravely these very difficult battles & support such as this, in my view truly deserves recognition. Having recently relocated my family to Cumbria, it feels even more important to be supporting my new local community in this positive way.
My hope is to raise £500 (as a minimum) and to complete the Great North Run and I am grateful to run for such an amazing cause. Thanks for your support.
