Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, inspired by completing 5km a day in October I will be running 310km in January! 

This will be done by running 10km a day come wind, rain, snow or ice (bit trickier) in and around Falkirk to raise funds and awareness on behalf of SAMH. 2020 has undoubtedly been difficult for everyone, taking it’s toll in a whole host of ways. January at the best of times can be particularly tough coming off the back of Christmas, which is fair to say this year has taken a different dynamic. 

SAMH provide fantastic support across local communities all year round, giving people from all walks of life support with their mental health. As we go in 2021 with renewed optimism, support for our mental health remains equally if not more important than ever as we continue to face these new challenges. 

Below is a few ways which any amount raised can help SAMH continue to provide the fantastic support that they do:

o £150 could help the SAMH Information Service provide phone and email support for people seeking support with their mental health. o £200 could fund our work in preventing suicide by delivering intervention training, vital research and creating information.o £250 could provide one-to-one support for children and young people who have been rejected from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.

I will be using Strava and linking it to this page, showing each of the 31 runs being completed.

Thank you for reading and any support you can manage is genuinely appreciated!
