Brighton Marathon 2023 · 2 April 2023 ·

Story

After a few wines on a Saturday afternoon I thought it would be a good idea to sign up for a marathon before I turn 40! At that point I couldn't even run to the end of the road. A year of training later and I will be running the Brighton Marathon on the 2nd April 2023

Sam's family have been our friends for many years and I couldn't think of a better Foundation to raise money for and awareness. Any contribution will help support them to continue their amazing work. 

Please read their story below 

Thank you xxx 

Sam was part of a close and loving family He was widely regarded among his many friends as being gentle, kind, cheeky and quick-witted. His talents in both music and the arts were evident to all. Sam first started showing signs of depression and anxiety when aged 14. Tragically, after he started being treated for clinical depression, he took his own life at the age of 15. We set up the Foundation to promote awareness, diagnosis and treatment of mental health affecting other children, young adults and their families.
