Starting at 9am on Thursday 10th September I'm planning to run/walk loops of Whinlatter parkrun B course for 48 hours, finishing with Whinlatter parkrun on Saturday the 12th.

During this challenge I will be raising money for Every Life Matters, a Cumbrian based suicide prevention and suicide bereavement charity.

On average more than one person a week dies by suicide in Cumbria, more than double the amount that die on our County's roads. Every death by suicide is an avoidable tragedy.

Suicides are preventable. We need a society where people feel able to reach out for help. Where members of our communities have the knowledge and skills to recognise when someone is at risk and to know how to offer support. And services that are accessible and effective.

Suicide is everyone's business.

I have a fantastic crew of supporters and it would be great to see as many people as possible at Whinlatter parkrun on the Saturday.

Thank you so much in advance for any support and donations you can offer.

Don't forget your barcode!
