In Memory of Vicky Lawrence 💜

Hi, my name is Beth, and in April 2026 I will be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Mind.

I am running to commemorate the lives of those I have lost and miss dearly, to raise awareness of mental health stigma, and to support suicide prevention.

We have all experienced our own struggles with mental health, and I’ve seen and experienced how difficult it can be to reach out or find the right support.

I’ve lost friends to suicide, most recently my friend Vicky Lawrence just this past May. Their loss has had a profound impact on me and others who knew them.

Running the LLHM is my way of honouring those we’ve lost, standing alongside those still fighting, and helping to break the stigma around mental health conversations.

If sharing my story encourages even one person to speak up or seek help, it will mean everything. Thank you so much in advance for your support. If you can, please consider donating and sharing — it really will make a massive difference.
