I am running the Edinburgh Marathon 2025 to raise money for Samaritans, whose amazing volunteers run the life-saving 24/7 support line, helping people across the UK who are struggling to cope.

This is my first marathon, and I'm running to support Samaritans' vital work in raising awareness of mental health issues and ending the stigma around discussing them. Working for Cala, a proud sponsor of Samaritans, I've seen first-hand how their efforts are making a real difference in supporting mental health and wellbeing, especially within the construction sector.

Every pound we raise could help train more volunteers, answer more calls for help, and ultimately save lives.

No matter what you are facing, a Samaritan will face it with you.

For support, you can call Samaritans' free 24/7 helpline on 116 123 💚

Thank you!
