Do good. Feel great.
Lots of us already know how great it can feel to get out into green spaces and take some exercise. Add to that the chance to achieve your goals, and raise money to change the lives of people experiencing mental health problems, and you have a truly wonderful day.
Mind are delighted to be involved once again for the 2012 Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon, and hopes to have another fantastic team of runners taking part.
About the run
This event involves running one of the few half marathons in London, taking in the stunning route through our leafy royal parks, and passing many famous sites of our capital city.
I feel privileged to have taken part - the support from the Mind team blew me away, it really made the day very special.
Our support
Whether you've managed to gain your own place through the ballot, or secure one of Mind's charity places, we will be with you every step of the way.
We pride ourselves on giving everyone who joins Team Mind the support, inspiration and admiration they deserve!
Our support includes:
- fundraising and training advice to help you achieve your goals
- your own running vest and a team cheering you all the way
- an exclusive post-run party for the whole team in Hyde Park, including your friends & family
- a dedicated and enthusiastic project manager to provide support and advice along the way
The first 20 people sponsored me between £10 and £20 - and before I knew it I'd raised £350, so I kept going! It felt amazing to raise funds for a cause I feel so strongly about.
