Over the last few years it has become more apparent to me that the pressures of modern life are affecting more and more people.  One sad outcome has been the rise of suicide attempts. This has been covered a lot in newspapers, magazines and television programmes. 

My New Year resolution was to challenge myself, also to help others. So, participating in the Reading Half Marathon is my first challenge for 2017. I really hope that you will help me to help this very important charity with its vital work and ensure The Samaritans always have someone on the end of a phone.
