We are so grateful to everyone that has donated and who came to our #runforgav event, our wellbeing talk and our talk and Q&A with the ultra runner Rhys Jenkins, who came and spoke to us about his experience of running really silly distances.

Why are we holding these events? Please read below.

On 13th August 2019 we found out that we had lost a dear friend and club mate to suicide.

Gavin was a kind, friendly person who was also extremely caring, and funny, and he is hugely missed by his family, friends and clubmates. 

Tuesday 10th September is World Suicide Prevenation Day and we wanted to use that day to honour him and to help raise awareness of suicide.

On that day, Moti Run Club Roath and CDF Runners members ran in Gavin’s memory. The event was hugely supported by the local community and we had 259 runners in total from a huge variety of clubs from Cardiff and further afield.

We also raised money for Mind - a charity that was very important to Gavin and which helps so many people through difficult times. Over £4500 was raised through the kind generosity of many many people. Thank you everyone.
