Astonishing run raises £4,000 for charity

Chris has so far raised more than £4,000 for the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH). He started raising money for mental health charities when he did the Edinburgh marathon six years ago.

Since then he has completed 33 marathons and ultra-marathons.

He said: “My brother and sister have both suffered mental health problems. My brother has had depression and my sister had post-natal psychosis. I want to show people that there are many ways to improve how you feel. One way is to exercise and I know how much running can improve your feelings of self-esteem and self-confidence.
