Hi all! Thanks so much for visiting my page.

I’m planning on running the Rannoch Half Marathon on the 13th of October in memory of one of my best mates Ben Hood who sadly took his life.

Ben was always up for a laugh, you’d usually hear him before you seen him. I met him in John Lewis and we worked together for 7 years, had many nights out & chats. Most of our conversations were Celtic & Rangers related. I still miss hearing Ben‘s take on football & often wonder what he would have to say if he were here now.

He was a great guy and could speak to anyone, build realtionships so easy. I could chat to him about anything and we often did, chatting about exercise, football, moaning about work, one thing was guaratneed that we’d always be laughing.

I think about and miss him every day, its been a struggle to write this but i hope I can raise money for Men’s mental health groups across South Lanarkshire and Glasgow to try and put an end to Men feeling that suicide is the only way out.

I’ve been a casul runner for a few years & always tried to get Ben involved, itll he an honour to run in your memory.

Thanks for reading & donating.
