KJP JOGS ON FOR MIND
Hello there!
This is the fundraising page for Kerry Jean Power (that'd be me then!) who will be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday 10th October to raise money for the charity MIND.
For some time now I have wanted to do something to raise money for a mental health charity in memory of my Mum who passed away in 1998 after a life-long battle with schizophrenia.
When I saw that the Royal Parks Half Marathon was taking place on Sunday October 10th - World Mental Health Day - I knew that I had to take part.
Mental health issues have cursed my family for two generations – my Grandma was the first to suffer and passed the gene on to all three of her children. My Aunt and Uncle also passed away as a direct result of it.
I want to do everything I can to prevent families going through the same pain and MIND is committed to supporting mental health issues across the spectrum.
By running for MIND I will be raising awareness of the charity and helping to support families who are in danger of being torn apart by mental illness.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and please do dig deep for a very worthy cause.
