I am participating in the Richmond Park Half Marathon on January 14th, 2024 to raise funds for PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide. This charity is dedicated to providing support and guidance to young people who are struggling with thoughts of suicide and self-harm, as well as to those who are concerned about a young person. No one should have to face these challenges alone.

After losing a close friend, James, to suicide in March 2021, his family set up the “James’ Team” page for PAPYRUS in February 2022. Their dedication to supporting mental health change inspired me to join their cause. I am passionate about removing the stigma surrounding mental health and supporting PAPYRUS in their life-saving work with young people.

Having used PAPYRUS myself since James passing away, I know first hand just how important and impactful their work is. Every £5 donated can cover the cost of a vital, life-saving contact to HOPELINEUK, while £165 can fund the training of an individual in ASIST, a comprehensive two-day course designed to equip caregivers with the skills to provide suicide first aid interventions. My goal is to raise £750 for this important cause.

Please help support PAPYRUS by donating. Your contribution could quite literally save a life.

Thank you for your support! :)
