A message from Tooting resident Carolyn Agger, who’s running the London Marathon for Rethink Mental Illness...

After three years of applying, it's third time lucky (I think) and I have a place in the London Marathon!

I'm very proud to be running for Rethink Mental Illness. After being hugely inspired by Mind over Marathon this year (if you haven't seen it, I can highly recommend it), I was really hoping that this would be my year.

Rethink do amazing work to change attitudes and policy for millions through their campaiging, as well as directly supporting almost 60,000 people every year across England to get through crises!

We’re holding an event in London on the 16th of January to raise money and have some amazing musicians performing on the night including Jake Morrell, Liz Mackenzie, Nina Fine and more to be announced!

Raffles and other fun things will also be taking place so please come down and support this event!! Entry is free, but all donations will be extremely appreciated!
