As I set out on this journey across the Sahara desert, I'll be carrying this weight as well as your stories with me,
a reminder of the importance of mental health and the need to raise awareness about it.
But I'm not alone in this race. I'm running for all those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Together, we can overcome the toughest challenges and emerge stronger than ever.
Join me as I embark on this incredible adventure, a journey that will test not just my physical endurance, but also the mental resilience.
