In September 2023 I joined a friend on a Saturday morning for my first Parkrun. I was determined to get fitter and more importantly improve my mental health.
Since then I have travelled around the country visiting different locations for each event.

Having never visited the same place twice, I am on the race to my 50th Parkrun in a 50th location by January 2025. So I'd like to celebrate this achievement by raising some money for two wonderful charities

- MIND - works to offer mental health support, and to fight for better service and rights for those that need it. For those who are struggling with their own mental health, know that this too shall pass.
- DEMENTIA UK - funds nurses for those with dementia, so that when our loved ones are taken from us by this cruel disease, they can be cared for with dignity at the end of their lives.

Anything you can give, however big or small would be appreciated. Your donation will be split evenly between the two charities.
It would be wonderful to be able to give £500 to each of these causes.

Even better - join me for one of my final runs of the fundraiser:
RUN 49 - Bushy Park - The original parkrun (4th January)
RUN 50 - Fulham Palace (11th January)

Thank you for any support you can give
Chris
