In 2018 I have signed up for a total of six, 25 mile virtual races and only managed to complete it once! So, this is my chance to actually push myself to achieve more than I have ever done before by running over of 77 miles throughout January and raise some much need funds for a fabulous local charity in the process............but during a month where I’m recovering from the overindulgence of the Christmas holidays!

On average 4 young people a day take their own lives, and I’m hoping that by running 1k for each of these young lives  I can raise awareness and vital funds so The Ollie Foundation can continue with their amazing work.

In 2016, three parents who had all lost their teenage sons to suicide, vowed to do all they could to prevent other families suffering similar tragedies.The OLLIE Foundation (One Life Lost is Enough) is a registered charity funding suicide intervention skills training for adults working with young people.Since our registration in 2016 we have trained over 400 people in suicide prevention.Your fundraising helps us train even more people, break down the stigma attached to suicide, and increase awareness!
