Ben's fundraiser for PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide

Ben Pilling is raising money for PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide

Team: Beat the Stigma for Dom

In memory of Dominic Travis

Liverpool Half Marathon · 23 March 2025 ·

PAPYRUS is the national charity for the prevention of young suicide. We run HOPELINE247 0800 068 4141 a freephone confidential helpline staffed by trained professionals who give advice, support & information to anyone who is feeling suicidal, or concerned that a young person they know may be at risk

Story

I want to raise money for this special charity as young suicide is a massive issue and is only getting worse! I will be running my first half marathons, firstly at Liverpool in March, followed by Leeds in May.

I’m particularly inspired to support PAPYRUS as I will be running alongside Zoe, who has done so much for the charity. Zoe’s brother Dominic tragically ended his own life, and we’re running in his memory. This cause is incredibly personal and we hope to raise as much awareness and support as possible.

I wanted to run for PAPYRUS for the work they do in mental health and suicide prevention, as young people often don’t think they have access to the support they may need. Mental health is something we should always be comfortable in speaking about.

Together we can make a difference to young people’s lives all around the country.

Any contributions no matter the size are massively appreciated and i look forward to raising awareness for PAPYRUS!
