In honour of Alex Liddle; an amazing man taken too soon, we will be running up to 26 miles for his 26th birthday to raise money for 2 mental health charities: SHOUT and If U Care, Share. Both of these charities are vital in saving peoples lives as well as supporting those bereaved by suicide.

Our event will be held on the 15th of May 2022 - there will be 3 distance options to make this accessible to a wider range of people. The distances will be 10K, Half Marathon and Full Marathon.

About the charities:

SHOUT are the UK’s only free 24/7 text support service for anyone who is struggling to cope. The funds that you raise will go towards providing discreet and confidential help for anyone who needs immediate support with their mental health. Every £10 can help someone in distress to access an hour of mental health support and £250 can train a volunteer to take life-saving conversations with people needing immediate support. They help the children, young people and adults texting us with issues including suicidal thoughts, anxiety, depression, relationships, abuse, bullying and self-harm.

If U Care Share provide a range of services fundamental to their three main aims of prevention, intervention and supporting those bereaved by suicide. Their team reaches some of the the most vulnerable people in our society to support them at a time of need. They also believe that educating future generations is key to changing cultures. This is why they also offer workshops to Primary, Secondary and educational establishments to equip our young people.
