Walk or jog 26.2 miles throughout July to help Samaritans save lives and prevent suicide.

Right now, many people are struggling to cope. Every mile you do this July will help make sure everyone has somewhere to turn whatever they are going through.

At Samaritans, we're here to listen so no-one has to go through life's challenges alone.

As well as raising vital funds to help us continue to be here 24/7. Samarathon helps spread an important message: whatever you're going through a Samaritan will face it with you. That's why we'll be providing everyone who signs up with a t-shirt featuring our free helpline number - 116 123.

Samarathon is the fundraising challenge that fits around your life. You can complete your miles wherever and whenever you like throughout the month. While most of the thousands of people joining in will be walking or jogging, this challenge is for everyone. You can take part however you like, and we encourage everyone to get creative and adapt the challenge to suit their own needs.

Whatever your ability and however much you can raise, Samarathon is about coming together to ensure support is there for everyone in tough times. Raising £50 could enable us to answer ten potentially lifesaving calls for help.
