Feeling inspired by the London Marathon?
The buzz of 50,000 runners and thousands of spectators is hard to ignore! At this year's TCS London Marathon, we are here once again, fighting for mental health. And supporting people every step of the way the way.
Our #TeamMind runners are fierce, determined, and inspirational. Their stories highlight why mental health matters and what it takes to keep going, on the track and in life.
If you're feeling inspired to get involved, there are so many ways you can do it.
Run for Mind
From 5ks to marathons, to ultra running events, we've got it all.
Take a look at all the running events we have coming up.
Fundraise your way
Running is not for everyone, and that's okay!
From baking, to quiz nights, hosting your own event is a great way to bring people together and fundraise for Mind.
Donate to support
No one should have to struggle alone.
With your help, we can be there for everyone who needs us.
Mind gave me the first conversation that changed things, and I want to make sure they can do the same for someone else.
