Morgan Thomason 22, a hairdresser in Ystrad Mynach, Caerphilly and Llewys Brewer 23, who works for Admiral in Cardiff have both been close friends from a young age.
The boys have given themselves the fundraising challenge of taking part in three half marathons in Newport, Cardiff and Swansea.
The pair have both seen first hand what amazing work Mind do and want to do what they can to help them, aiming to raise awareness and as much money as they can for the Charity.
The boys have already taken part in the Newport Half-Marathon which took place on Sunday, March 3 and are now training for Swansea Half-Marathon on June, 9 and Cardiff Half-Marathon on October, 6. The pair have both been trying to do as much training as they can for the events and are both pushing each other on.

Morgan, said: "We will be aiming to begin raising as much money as possible for a charity called 'MIND'. An amazing charity who provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem.
"Their services are an amazing help to me and have helped many people close to me. Mental health problems may always exist but that only means we must continue our efforts to support those struggling, something i am passionate about and committed to always doing!".
Llewys, said: "This being the second half marathon I will be running, I wanted to run in aid of 'Mind' a charity that specialise in supporting people who suffer with mental health disorders across the UK.
"I have personally worked with Mind and their services were a massive help for me at a time where I had only recently opened up about my mental health struggles and reached out for help. I'm running Newport Half to not only raise funds for an important charity but to also spead awareness.
"If you are struggling, reach out. There is so much help out there!".
