Well, well, well. Here I go again! 💪🏻

In the midst of all this marathon running and hyrox malarkey, I’m going to try and one up myself with a little ultra marathon… 🙄

Because in case I haven’t told you all enough, I’ve ran a few marathons now so that means I’m basically a pro 😏 Hahaa

This year I’m attempting the Gower Peninsula Ultra Marathon on the 19th July all in aid of CALM. That’s a whole 100km of blisters, cramp and a moving picnic 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m a stats kinda girl so let me throw some

Numbers out there…

1 in 5 of us struggle with suicidal thoughts, with a total of 18 people loosing their fight on a daily basis..

43% of people are uncomfortable talking to their closest friends and 47% say the same about family.

Were told ‘just talk to someone’ like it’s easy, like everyone will understand, like the silence isn’t safer than saying too much.

So what happens when the words you have to say are bigger than the space you have to fill?

CALM answer a call every 59 seconds, that’s 28,000 people a month.

Nobody should struggle alone.

If you were to give £1. And that’s all I’m asking, if everyone could give £1, let’s face it, what does £1 get you these days that’s right it’s not even a Cadbury’s chocolate bar 🙄

But if you were to give £1, it allows someone to be sat at the end of a suicide prevention helpline, a whole 83p is spent on the people struggling, a shoulder to lean on, a safe space to voice your battle, somewhere that can provide advise, support and access to online tools. The other 17p helps keep the charity running.

And that single £1 becomes a life saving £1.

So if you can then I’d be forever grateful and I’d promise to do my best to complete 🙏🏻

So please consider donating, even just a single £1 🙂

Thank you 😘
