Running in memory of Andy Cleworth who tragically left us in September 2014
Fundraising for Samaritans
Story
Andy sadly and unexpectedly took his own life in September 2014 which has left a massive hole in the lives of his family, friends and colleagues.
One of the most charismatic and funniest guys you'd ever meet, his suicide was a shock to all who knew him.
His competitive spirit and sense of pride saw him take on a number of endurance events in the mountains which he loved, but it also prevented him from accepting the support of family, friends and professionals, which could have helped him when he needed it most.
Andy had taken part in the Snowdon 7's Mountain Race (www.snowdonia7.co.uk) for many consecutive years. At 2015's his friendship, humour and support will be sadly missed. His navigation skills however, won't be!
A number of his friends and colleagues will be taking part in the event again this year on Saturday 4th July. However the purpose this time will be to raise awareness and funds for two very important organisations.
