Story



Thanks for taking the time to visit this Just Giving page. My reasons for choosing this charity are very clear. I believe Christmas time can be a very enjoyable time for some. However, there are many people that really struggle with the stresses and challenges faced on a daily basis and find it very difficult to express their feelings and emotions to their loved ones and even close friends. In many cases, the pent-up negative emotion can push someone to take their own life.

Suicide is the greatest cause of death amongst young men (15-44) in the UK as well as many young women too. Every four minutes someone in the UK tries to kill themself and every hour and a half someone succeeds. This shouldn't be the case and people should feel like they can turn to someone in their time of need, especially when it is needed the most.

That's why on the 24th December 2020 I'm going to do my share of the suffering and prevent that dark cloud from descending on those most vulnerable.

On the 24th December 2020 starting at 07:00 am at the Viking Active Functional Fitness HQ I will be performing another great physical feat.

This fundraising event will consist of the following:

  • 26.2 Mile Ski-Erg
  • 26.2 Mile Assault Bike
  • 26.2 Mile Run

All in one day! 

The charity I will be representing is PAPYRUS a national Charity for the Prevention of Young Suicide. Suicide is the biggest killer of young people under the age of 35 in the UK, in 2018 over 1800 young people took their own lives. PAPYRUS provides confidential support and advice to young people struggling with thoughts of suicide, and anyone worried about a young person through their helpline, HOPELINEUK.

I understand this is a very financially difficult time of the year for many, but any donation no matter how big or small or even just a share of this page to spread awareness would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure to come on down to the Viking Active HQ to consume s ridiculous amount of free coffee, mulled wine and festive mince pies!
