I'm raising £10000 to The Jordan Legacy Foundation & reduce the number of suicides in the UK

Organised by Daniel Cardwell

Story

I'm aiming to raise £10,000 to support The Jordan Legacy Foundation.

The biggest killer of Men & Women under 35 in the UK isn't.

Road Traffic accidents

Cancer

Heart attacks or diabetes.... It's suicide...

Here's our story .....

The thought of losing someone you love to suicide is unimaginable. Yet, for many families, including mine, it has become a heartbreaking reality. Over the years, we have faced the devastating loss of three beloved family members—two young men and one young woman—each taking their own life. This tragedy has left an indelible mark on our lives, with one loss every decade since I was born.

Suicide is a leading cause of death among individuals under 35 and men aged 35-49, and the numbers continue to rise. This alarming trend is why I am launching this fundraising page and organizing multiple events throughout 2026, starting with a charity run to close out 2025.

I am proud to support a small yet impactful organization dedicated to preventing all preventable suicides in the UK. Their mission resonates deeply with me as I have witnessed firsthand the tireless efforts of their founder and team in raising awareness about this critical issue.

The organization was established in memory of a son who tragically lost his life at the age of 34. His family are originally from the NW (same region as mine), which makes this cause even more personal for me.

Each year, over 7,000 people die by suicide in the UK—a statistic that is increasing year on year.

Events:

💙 December 25: Santa Dash, Liverpool (5k) - COMPLETED!

A wonderful opportunity for families and children to come together in support of a cause that affects so many during what can be a challenging time of year.

💙 March 26: St Helens 10K (Southport 13.5K Run DONE 🏃💪)

In my hometown—where we face one of the highest suicide rates in the UK—I feel compelled to take action. I will be aiming for a personal best while tackling 'The North Road climb.'

💙 Surprise Events 💙

Throughout the year I will add in surprise events to gain momentum & visibility for this exceptional foundation. The team needs all the help they can get; more exposure means more funding for critical resources needed to urgently reduce UK suicide figures!

💙 Snowdon Climb Summer '26 (Date TBC)

In 2020, I organized a group climb up Snowdon with over 50 participants to raise awareness about suicide prevention raising £3,500 to support a new mental health & suicide awareness group get up and running.

Then onto the finale....

For the last event of the year I needed to do something big. Something which takes considerable time, effort & training. Over the last year I've committed myself to an intense training routine and I'm proud to announce I will be attending...

IRONMAN 70.3 WEYMOUTH

- 1.3m Swim 🏊‍♂️

- 56m Bike Ride 🚴‍♂️

- 13.2m Run 🏃

All in one go! Start to finish I'll be there!

The training and commitment I make day in day out is nothing compared to what the team at The Jordan Legacy Foundation does on a daily basis.

They need OUR support! This is my pledge; thank you for reading and thank you for your donations in advance..
