Thanks for visiting my funding page!

I am running the Cardiff Half Marathon on Sunday 01st October 2017 and would love if you could support me by donating to the Jacob Abraham Foundation.

Wish me luck for Sunday!

This foundation was set up after the death of Jacob Abraham, aged 24 who took his own life through suicide. His death deeply shocked his family and the local community raising questions about the complexities of mental health in young men particularly as Jacob presented as happy go lucky young man who was popular, funny, athletic, handsome and with a family who loved him dearly.

The foundation was set up in 2015 in Jacob's memory to help other young people suffering from anxiety, depression and over whelming feelings of despair. We aim to raise awareness in mental health and in doing so reduce the stigma, and encourage open conversations about mental health. We would like to ensure that young people know who to speak to about their concerns, which could prevent them feeling that suicide is their only option.

The Jacob Abraham Foundation aims to help prevent suicide through direct intervention with vulnerable people, raise awareness on mental health/suicide issues, promote positive mental health and support people bereaved through suicide in South Wales.

Thanks for taking the time to read my story. Any donations are hugely appreciated.
