“Running is my therapy. It improves my confidence and makes me feel better about myself”

Buxton

In 2023, Buxton is proud to partner with Mind to support the sweat and tears of 15 Rise Up Runners. 15 real people, each facing their own physical and mental struggles, who are bravely taking on the ultimate test of resilience: The London Marathon. Their road to the race will be part of Buxton and Mind’s wider mission to promote better physical and mental wellbeing across the nation, through exercise and hydration.

For Sha, unlearning childhood behaviours and finding community has led him to the resilient place he’s in today, as he seeks to help others with their own mental health journeys.
