Story

Thank you for visiting my just giving page. I’m running the London marathon in honour and memory of my younger brother Simeon who took his own life in October 2020. Simeon was an amazing character: quick-witted, observant, and incredibly kind. 

Anyone who knew Simeon would know he’d never run for a bus, let alone a marathon, but he would often accompany me on his bike, aka a ‘rycle’, and I know he’ll be cheering me on from a happier place.

The Samaritans is a fantastic charity that saves lives. Every 10 seconds Samaritans responds to a call for help. They offer listening and support,without judgment or pressure, day and night over the phone, and also via email, letter, or in person. They also provide people with ways to cope and the skills to be there for others. I am so pleased to be supporting Samaritans and am excited to challenge myself in the marathon.

I would really appreciate any support you might be able to give in Simeon’s name.
