I am going to be running the half-marathon in memory of Coral who we sadly lost in 2020 and is missed dearly every day. I've decided to sign up to the RAK half marathon, which will be taking place in the desert in the UAE in February. Any money that you can donate will be greatly appreciated!
Normally I just run these things as a challenge for myself, but after losing a friend suddenly in 2020 I wanted to raise some money for a charity she supported and which is helping many currently struggling with their own battles through the pandemic.
Blurt are a mental health charity who increase the awareness and understanding of depression. They connect those who have been through depression with those who are currently struggling, to provide reassurance and comfort during a very scary time. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and they’re working hard to get that message out there. They raise awareness, provide tools and knowledge to help proactive recovery and challenge the stigma that prevents people reaching out for help. They work closely with medical practitioners, employers, schools and companies to help them understand depression, what it means and how they can support those affected by it.
The money raised will go towards:
Increasing awareness and understanding of depression
Developing additional peer support networks
Collaborating with partners to facilitate learning and innovation
