Story
We're running the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise awareness and vital funds for The Listening Place – a charity that offers lifesaving, face-to-face support to people struggling with suicidal thoughts.
Suicide kills 19 people a day in the UK and is the leading cause of death for all people under 35. Most of those who die are not receiving any support from mental health services — and those that are may have waited several weeks or even months for treatment.
The Listening Place is there to help - completely confidential and non-judgmental. They understand that it’s not always possible to wait for help and aim to make contact within 24 hours and offer a first appointment within 7 days. Their support is free, confidential, and deeply personal – and it’s only possible thanks to donations from people like you.
As a team, we’re taking on 13.1 miles through London’s beautiful parks on October 12th this year; not just for the challenge, but for a cause we believe in. Every step we run is for those who feel like they have no one to turn to.
Please support us however you can – by donating, sharing, or simply spreading the word. Together, we can help The Listening Place continue their incredible work and show people that they are never alone.
Thank you - the KN Family Team
