The Mental Health Foundation believe no-one living in the UK should be deprived of the opportunity for good mental health because ​of who they are, the community they come from or where they live​. We’re developing better ways to support good mental health in every community.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Every day, around two people in Scotland die by suicide.  On July 5th 2012, our world was changed forever when our step-father Ian "Spach" took his own life.  Nothing can prepare you for the devastation, the grief, the roller coaster of emotions and the deep pain that follows such a preventable death.

A series of events preceded Ian's death so we know the "why", we know the "who" and we know the "where" and the "how".  Having these answers has helped us a family but we are all too aware that others in similar situations never have and never will have any answers.

On September the 11th, Liam and I will be doing The Great North Run (half marathon) in Newcastle in Ian's memory.  We will be raising money for SAM-H and The Mental Health Foundation and we have specified that all money raised goes towards the invaluable Suicide Prevention work that both charities provide.

Thank you for helping us keep our loved one's memory alive by now helping others.
