Story

Firstly, thank you for visiting my page! 

In April I will be running the Brighton marathon, raising funds for the fantastic charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM). CALM is a non-for-profit charity, established with the sole aim of tackling male suicide. It may surprise you to hear that suicide is the number one cause of death in males under 45 and charities such as CALM need all the support they can get. You can learn more about the brilliant work CALM are carrying  out in tackling male suicide by following the below link:

This will be the longest distance I have ran by quite some margin, so I am both scared and worried!

Needless to say, any donation will be greatly appreciated, no matter how great or small.

Thank you very much in advance.

Ollie.
