Help Tom Stott Set a World Record and Support Mental Health!

Hello, my name is Tom Stott, and I'm embarking on a journey to break the Guinness World Record for consecutive 10km runs.

Starting on August 19, 2024, and continuing until December 31, 2025, I aim to complete a 10km run every single day for 500 days. The current record stands at 365 days, but I’m determined to go above and beyond to set a new benchmark.

I’m not just running for a record; I’m running to raise awareness and funds for a cause very close to my heart: MIND, a mental health charity.

For over ten years, I have struggled with mental health issues, including a gambling addiction that began when I was 16.

Thanks to the support of MIND and Sanctum Healthcare, I was diagnosed with ADHD and have since learned to manage my mental health a lot better because of this. I’ve been free from gambling since October 28, 2022, which is my longest period of abstinence since my addiction started.

MIND has been a pillar of support for me and many of my loved ones who have faced depression, anxiety, and addiction. Their work is invaluable, and I want to give back by supporting their mission.

Additionally, I’m raising funds for AFC Prestbury Football Club, a community football team that my brother and I founded. We aim to improve the current foundations and in the future expand the club, allowing more people to participate and benefit from the sense of community and physical activity it offers.

Running has been a lifeline for me, helping to manage my mental health through the release of endorphins and providing a structured, positive focus. This challenge is not only a personal goal but a testament to the power of perseverance and support in overcoming mental health struggles.
