Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In May 2018, I will be running the Edinburgh Half-Marathon in aid of Prevention of Young Suicide. Suicide is one of the biggest killers of young people in the UK and is the single biggest killer of men under the age of 40.  From 2007 to 2015, the number of students at UK universities to die annually by suicide rose by 79%.

PAPYRUS run a national helpline staffed by a team of mental health professionals providing practical help and advice to vulnerable young people and those concerned about a young person who may be at risk of suicide. They also deliver talks and awareness-raising sessions in schools and universities with the aim to reduce the stigma surrounding suicide and encourage young people to be suicide-safe.

Any donations, big or small, will be greatly appreciated - mental health is a very worthy cause! :)
