There is no doubt that 2020 has taken its toll on the mental health of the global population. But some people are more affected than others and may not be able to verbalise their feelings or tell someone they need help.
In order to create awareness about this very real issue, the 15th annual Aware Christmas 5k will take place from 11th to 13th of December and the charity is urging people across the country to run, walk, jog or move by whatever means possible to virtually come together in support of mental health.
Participants can choose their own route, and will each receive a bespoke festive medal which doubles as a Christmas tree ornament.
