Edinburgh Marathon Festival Full Marathon 2019 · 26 May 2019 ·
Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
On the 26th May we will be running in Edinburgh's Marathon event. The pair of us have dug out our running shoes and thrown ourselves into the deep end with long distance running attempting to complete the 26.2 mile challenge in under 4 hours! (Follow us both on Strava for progress)
For this event we will be fundraising for The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), which is a registered charity that exists to offer men support and guidance when they're down or in a crisis and offers help to those affected by suicide. Horrifically, suicide is the biggest killer in men under the age of 45. Our society is still struggling to acknowledge or recognise male depression and those suffering often stay quiet because of the pressures of the male image.
As Jake's family is personally affected by male suicide, losing his old man far too young, we both feel proud to represent this charity for this challenge. We hope that with your support we can smash our target to give us that massive push come May 26th!
