Vitality British 10k London Run · 12 July 2015 ·

We’re Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), and we’re a suicide prevention charity. We host a helpline for people affected by suicide, as well as vital online resources for anyone who needs them.

Story

In the last 2 months I lost two of my most precious friends. There are no words to describe how much I miss Mila - my irreplaceable, stunning best friend and Olly - a very, very special boy. There's nothing that could have saved Mila who passed away in a car accident but there could have been something or someone that could have saved Olly.

I'm doing this run because I'm trying to find peace after losing them forever. I'm going to run to celebrate the life of both Mila and Olly, but most importantly to help save the lives of those other amazing friends, parents and siblings we all have.

CALM, the campaign against living miserably, exists to prevent suicide - the biggest killer of men aged between 20 and 49. With medical intervention, it's thought that most, if not all cases of mental illness are curable or at the least manageable. The shocking fact is that despite mental health issues contributing to a quarter of health problems in the UK it only receives 13% of the NHS budget.

CALM and I need your help to at the very least try and do what we can to save the lives of those for whom it isn't too late. 

Remember, "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long" - Blade Runner 

Mila, Olly, I will always love you!
