Story

Hey, thanks for visiting my page.

I am running the Hackney Half Marathon on May 8th
to raise money for Samaritans who support people who are considering suicide, or have been affected by it. The money raised will help to fund the 600 plus calls an hour they receive from people struggling to cope.

A few years ago I was commuting to work by train and about
30 minutes into the journey a tragic incident occurred. The train was brought to an immediate halt and it took a few moments for an announcement to be made. As the train stood silent it was difficult to comprehend what had happened or the mindset of someone where suicide is the only option.

Since that day I regularly donate to Samaritans. I would
really appreciate any contributions to this great cause. If you would like to know more about Samaritans please visit www.samaritans.org
