SUB 3 HOUR HALF MARATHON!!!

Sweat, blood and wanting to give up but after 2:59:31 hours we did it! The worry about time and pushing myself to the maximum speed I could for hours upon end made this a very rough afternoon but we do it for mental health, for those that suffer and for those who we’ve lost to this battle!

To finish the race in the exact same spot hugging my grandma again was such a beautiful way to finish off the day. Its moments like that which make you realise life is worth living.

Time to rest for a few days, then back onto the grind. The 6 marathons in 6 continents is coming up quite quick 😅

[Dr Nerida Volker @HNerida]

@Thehullboy1 Well done !! That’s my goal, you are a legend.

A privilege to represent @Orygen at the Joint Select Committee on Social Media and Australian Society in Canberra, sharing @chatsafe_au findings about the role of social media in suicide prevention & advocating for safer social media that doesn’t ignore the needs of young people.

[Dr Nerida Volker @HNerida]

@louiselasala @chatsafe_au Congratulations Louise! So important we have a nuanced and evidence based discussion on this issue. Particularly when it comes to young people and suicide where fear and stigma prevents us supporting young people to safely and positively navigate their reality.

The greatest gift you can give yourself and your kids is an education.

One of the very few things; that once you have it, noone can take away from you

MARATHON COMPLETED 🫡

Today I completed something that 5 months ago I would never of thought possible. 42.2km (26.2 miles), my first ever marathon completed and have raised £23,800 pounds for mind charity. Did I cry, yeah about 40 times but to run with over 100 people with many inspirations today was incredibly surreal and helped massively to overcome the challenge.

Thank you to everyone who came down today and helped spread awareness for mental health and to @hardestgeezer for changing my life!!! MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS

[ALASTAIR CAMPBELL @campbellclaret]
