Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I have decided to run the Manchester 10k race in May 2024 for Samaritans to do my bit in tackling the mental health crisis.

Let’s break the stigma - I’m not ashamed to say, Samaritans is a charity very close to my heart and has helped me and others through some tough situations. This is my ‘thank you’

Samaritans is a unique charity dedicated to reducing feelings of isolation and disconnection that can lead to suicide. Every 10 seconds, Samaritans responds to a call for help. They are there, day or night, for anyone who’s struggling to cope, who needs someone to listen without judgement or pressure. Samaritans is not only for the moment of crisis, they’re taking action to prevent the crisis. They give people ways to cope and the skills to be there for others. And encourage, promote and celebrate those moments of connection between people that can save lives.
