Running the Athens Marathon on Sunday and fundraising for MIND 14:56 - Nov 6 with 2411 viewsunbelievablue

Ladies and Gents,

As you'll likely be aware by now due to my incessant blogging and unashamed fundraising efforts, my mate Mat and I are running the Athens Marathon this Sunday for MIND, the Mental Health Charity. Thus far I've raised over £1300, in no small part thanks to so many of you TWTDers. So here is my huge THANK YOU. I will do my very best to make you all proud.

If anyone who hasn't donated is feeling generous, please chip in. Every single time my phone buzzes and the app tells me someone has donated their hard earned I get a sincere pang of heartfelt emotion which is actually quite difficult to describe. My blog (linked below) details some of my own struggles with mental health issues as well as why I chose to run to fund-raise. It's probably terribly written and occasionally self-indulgent but please, give it a read and a share, if you enjoy it.

I'll be writing a blog entry on Saturday from Athens, so look out for that (I can't believe I'll be in an European capital for over 24 hours without a beer to be honest).

Anyway, thanks again, and wish me luck (I'll fecking need it).

Cheers all,
Josh

Want to wish a very happy birthday to my good friend Unbelievablue today, and wish him the best for his Athens marathon this weekend.

I know there's an awful lot of charitable causes doing the rounds these days- but I know just how much effort Josh has put into training for this, and it really is an issue close to his heart. His openness on an issue that most of us are too embarrassed/uncomfortable to talk about is very commendable IMHO. If you can afford to donate a fiver/tenner/10 grand - I know how much he would appreciate it.
