Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I was asked by a friend of mine 🤔 after I had consumed some wine !! if I would join him on the virtual London MARATHON, so here I am 2 weeks later in training 😳 . The virtual marathon takes place on the same day as the London marathon but at a venue of your choice, our choice is Llyn Brenig in North Wales 

I am hoping to  raise money for SAMARITANS, which is a telephone helpline for people in emotional distress. 

I have worked in the NHS within mental health services for 36 years and will retire in a few years time. More than ever we are needing services to help people who are distressed and are feeling like life is no longer worth living. Samaritans provide a life line to people when they need it most, talking saves lives and costs little.

Please consider giving  however small every pound counts 

3828 people completed suicide from April to December 2020  in England and Wales that is 3828 people too many 

By helping raise money for samaritans we are helping to reduce the rates and prevent such tragic loss of life 

Be a good samaritan ❤️

Nobody should ever feel they have no one to turn to

Samaritans number 116 123
