I believe my experience, values, and vision make me the best candidate to lead our party.

I'd be a First Minister for all of Wales, and would be honoured to lead our country.

But I also know what me winning would mean.

On #RaceEqualityWeek , here's my story.

Diolch yn fawr John Griffiths MS for hosting us Welsh Parliament this morning to launch our new two-year partnership with Mind Cymru.

This support will help us raise awareness and spread the word about the positive impact running can have on people's mental health.🙏💙

We are thrilled to partner with Welsh Athletics to support the nation's mental health. It doesn't have to be far, fast or intense with ASICS Europe research showing 15.09 minutes can lift our mood. Champions play a key role in starting conversations & breaking down stigma. 🏃‍♀️🏃

Supporting the nation's mental health through running: Sue O'Leary describes how our partnership with Welsh Athletics will train mental health champions in running clubs across Wales.

(And of course Sue took part in the run around the Bay this morning - da iawn!)
