Joy is...Giving.

Paul Minter is currently on the final leg of a 5,000 mile run around the coastline of the entire UK to raise awareness and funds for his charity Head Up. Paul has been running Forrest Gump style since 1st March 2022, housed and joined by members of the public along his way.

Head Up intends to promote mental health awareness for UK Armed Forces, and to help forces personnel build a positive mindset and improve their mental resilience. Paul and his fellow founding veterans are on a mission to raise enough money to develop a holistic and positive 7-day retreat for all those who have served, and are still serving, in any service of the UK military, who wish to improve their mindset and outlook.

Paul shares with me, in his characteristic humble and honest fashion, his own battles with PTSD and the loss of friends to suicide that motivate him; the challenges and joys of his Herculean effort; how running has helped him personally; staying true to your 'why', and his mission to spread a message of resilience, hope and immense gratitude, not only to those from a similar background to him, but to everyone he encounters on his incredible journey.

Paul is an exceptional human, and it is an honour to share his story with you.
