Already got a marathon place? Run for us!
Make every mile matter for mental health by joining Team Mid Kent Mind. Whether you’re running the London or Brighton Marathon, we would love for you to choose us as your charity. If you have your own place, you’ll get exactly the same brilliant support as our charity-place runners!
Why run for us?
As a local, independent charity, we rely on donations to be able to continue our work. Last year, we supported over 7,000 individuals across Maidstone, Ashford and Swale. We couldn’t have done that without the incredible generosity of people just like you!
How will Mid Kent Mind support me?
When you run the London or Brighton Marathon for Mid Kent Mind, we’ll make sure you’re fully supported and celebrated every step of the way!
Here’s everything you will get as part of Team Mid Kent Mind:
- A named contact from our team to help with any questions
- Fundraising tips and support
- Personalised fundraising posters
- Social media posts to encourage donations
- Coverage in our newsletter to help promote your challenge
- A dedicated web page on our website celebrating your achievements
- Collection tins and bunting for events
- Personalised running vest
- A Mid Kent Mind supporter hoodie
How much do I have to raise?
If you have your own place, there is no minimum target for either marathon, but you may like to set your own target to keep up the fundraising momentum. We will be there to support you throughout your training period and on race day to help you make the biggest impact.
Setting up an online fundraising page is a great way for you to keep tabs on your total. People can donate directly to your page and you can also add offline donations from events so you can easily see how much you have raised.
Ready to make your marathon mean more? Join Team Mid Kent Mind today!
Contact community@midkentmind.org.uk if you have any questions or would like to run for us; we would love to support you!
Every £100 you raise could help provide vital mental health education to young people so they know where to turn if they or a friend need support.
