Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Those of you who know me will know I am no runner but when I set myself a challenge there is little that will stand in my way! Training is hard, but I am pushing on because I believe that with the help of you as my sponsors,  we can make a real difference to my chosen charity. 

My charity is the Samaritans. Why Samaritans? Well, my mum, my inspiration, my motivation,  devotes a considerable amount of time to the Samaritans, helping those in need, simply because she chooses to. 

My training for this event and therefore my fundraising is dedicated to Samaritans across the country who give their time freely. 

Mental health,  even in 2016, still carries a stigma. This means that sadly,  many young people and adults alike,  feel embarrassed to talk openly about how they are feeling, through fear of judgement or a lack of understanding. Fortunately for these people, instead of being alone, they have someone to reach out to, and for some, this may just save their lives.

 I choose therefore,  to support the people, who support the people.  Help me to raise their awareness further and keep this magnificent charity available to all of us. You never know when you or someone close to you, family member or friend may need this independent support.

Any donations I know will be greatly received by the Reading Samaritans so thankyou in advance for your support.
