Story

Hello! We are running both of our first marathons this September in memory of Catrin's brother, Rhodri, and all those who have lost their lives too early to mental health. This is a cause that is close to both of us and charities like Grassroots are invaluable in helping those with suicidal thoughts, supporting families, starting important conversations and breaking down stigmas. 

It's such an exciting opportunity being able to support an amazing cause while doing what we both love: running. We are currently in the depths of training, spending hours every week and weekend pounding the streets of London. The post-run brunches and hours of conversation are definitely a great motivator. 

Thank you for all the support, we really appreciate it and we are sure it will put a spring in our step. We hope that our collective efforts will help to prevent more precious lives, like Rhodri's, being lost too early to suicide.
