Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you know I'm running the London Marathon (my first time running this distance) on Sunday 23rd April with a very lucky ballot place. After some thought, I want to raise some funds for 'Ask For Jake'

In 2019 the Braunton Devon community was shocked by the sudden Death of a young man Jake McPhail. Sadly, Jake took his own life. He was 18 years old.   In response, the Ask for Jake non-profit charity has been formed to provide a network of local businesses, coaches, community leaders and just general people where anyone can ‘Ask for Jake’ which will prompt immediate support on a personal and community-led basis.This initiative is not solely about suicide but includes all challenges including self-harming, eating and behaviour issues, drug and alcohol dependency and any other issue which manifests in the first instance.

After losing my Dad to suicide in 2017, this is a topic that touches my heart deeply and would love to fundraise for 'Ask For Jake' to help others suffering from low mental health and suicidal thoughts.

If you're in the fortunate position to donate in these challenging times please do. I'll appreciate it very much.

Keep on keeping on. Marc x
