Making a difference
Let's start running....and talking.
As always, we'll be on social media chatting, supporting and helping to inspire one another throughout the month.
We’ll be using #runr and #MilesForMind on Twitter, Instagram, Strava and Facebook, so come and get involved over on social media.
We're proud that this community has helped raise an astonishing £425,000 for the charity Mind. This is an incredible achievement. Profit from the event goes to Mind.
We have also helped spread the message that #MentalHealthMatters and we have seen first hand how this has opened up conversations about mental health.
