Thanks for visiting my sponsorship page.

I am running the 2019 London Marathon to raise money for an amazing charity, Samaritans.

Samaritans provide around the clock, every single day of the year support to people in need. Every year they answer over five million calls for help!!!! That's every six seconds, from people struggling to cope with whatever life as thrown at them.

I know life is rarely plain sailing and have seen first-hand the devastating consequences of when a loved one doesn't seek support for the turbulence of life. in 2012 I lost my mother after a two-year battle with severe mental ill health, this was potentially avoidable if she had shared her struggles early enough.

I know that this case is of course significantly more complicated than my brief summary, however the facts are that we need to raise awareness of mental health (we all have it), know how to spot the signs if someone is suffering and to help them seek the support they need, whatever their condition.

Please to sponsor me today, your donation will help provide a safe space for people to talk about their problems, helping them to find a way forward.

Thank you!
