Sadly, my mum, Judy Clough, died suddenly and peacefully in November. She lived with severe mental illness for all of her adult life and Paula and I want to raise money for Rethink, the leading mental health charity, in her memory by taking on some challenges!

Rethink gave Mum an immense amount of support through her life, making the good times more enjoyable and being there when things were more difficult. She made many great friends through Rethink too.

The first part is complete! I finished the London Marathon in 4.19.25 and had a truly uplifting and memorable day. Thanks very much for all the money you helped us to raise.

But its not over .... Paula is going to run her first marathon in Edingburgh in May - so it would be great for some support to help get her through the last part of her training and push towards the finishing line. Paula and I are doing a parachute jump in May (?!) so please help to make that seem like a sensible idea when we are sat in the plane!

£3,000 is a massive challenge, so please do dig deep! All donations will be greatly appreciated, both by us and by the many, many people that Rethink help to support.

Thank you for visiting. Donating through this site is easy and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support. Jerry and Paula
