My story

 

Hello Everyone, 

On Monday 5th May 2008 I will endeavour to complete the Belfast marathon, as I type this I can not believe that I am going to attempt to run 26 long miles (42kms). 

 

I decided to sign up for this challenge in the memory of my very good friend Leo Osterrieth who tragically took his own life at the end of the summer last year.  I’d always admired him for his commitment to any challenge he set his mind on and it was his determination to complete a task which inspired me to attempt a marathon!   

 

I have decided to run this race to raise money for a Charity called Papyrus, a charity committed to suicide prevention, focusing predominantly on the emotional well-being of children, teenagers and young adults. Papyrus also runs HOPELineUK which is a confidential helpline service staffed by trained professionals who can give support, practical advice and information to anyone concerned that a young person they know may be at risk of harming themselves.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me any money you can in the hope that it will prevent the unnecessary loss of another young person through suicide.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Papyrus will receive your money faster and, if you are ataxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
