Raising money for the Mental Health Foundation
Marianne Coates
My Story
Good mental health is essential for all of us, just as well as good physical health.
Going for a run each week has helped me manage my mood.
I have suffered from post natal depression and other mental health issues. Close members of my family have also suffered therefore I am running a half marathon in October to raise money for the Mental Health Foundation (www.mentalhealth.org.uk).
Rather than use the usual fund-raising pages of Just Giving or Virgin, I have decided to use Lady Margaret School - PTA Charity Checkout fundraising site as an alternative. I don’t have to pay any subscription fees for using their site making it a cheaper option than the larger fundraising sites allowing me to donate more of the money I raise to the cause I am raising funds for. As a thank you I am making a donation to Lady Margaret School-PTA, so everyone benefits.
