I am asking for your support for a very special cause close to my heart. Three years ago my youngest brother Julian took his own life at the age of 27. I do not need to explain how traumatic it was for us as a family and how dearly we miss him. He had suffered for a few years and the 'demons' as we like to call them got the better of him. I have decided to do something positive in memory of Julian and need your help.
 
On Sunday 23 April Victoria and I will be running as a husband and wife team in the London Marathon in aid of MIND. This charity helped Julian in his last few months with us and gave him alot of support and guidance. This charity does amazing work in an area of healthcare which is still very much taboo. 
 
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Mind The Mental Health Charity will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thank you for your support, Victoria and I will certainly need it on the day.
 
Simon and Victoria Michaels
