Story

We're running 21 Half marathons over 21 weekends in memory of our friend Matt Ward.

On the 17th October 2020 our lives changed forever as we lost Matthew to depression. There are no words to express how heartbroken we are.

It may be a surprise to many to know that Matt had been suffering with depression for a number of years. His pain and anguish became too much and he decided to take his own life.

We know this is not the answer.

Samaritans are a fantastic charity that not only provide 24/7 help at the point of crisis, but also take action to prevent the crisis.

We would ask that you may support us in making a donation in Matthew’s name.

If you are needing any support after Matthew's death, please take a look at this helpful NHS document.

Guy and Matt
