Hello, 

My name is Ben, I'm 24 years-old and I currently live in Manchester. 

I have entered the Wiggles Manchester Half Marathon that will take place on Sunday 13th October 2019 where I will be representing the Samaritans. 

Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK. 

In 2017 alone, there were 6,213 suicides in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

The Samaritans is a 24 hour service where you can talk to somebody without any judgement when you need them. However dark the situation and however bleak it may seem, you're not alone. Talking can be a lifesaver. It's impossible to overemphasise the importance of the service, it could save your life someday. 

Peace and Love, 

Ben
