10/10/10 seems like a good time to attempt to run my first ever half marathon-it's World Mental Health Day, the culmination of Time to Get Moving, and it's running around one of my favourite places-the Royal Parks.
I'm not exactly a natural runner, but I'm running to support Mind, the mental health charity I'm proud to work for.
So thank you so much for your support-it really does make a difference to the hundreds of thousands of people we support every year.
