In the UK we lose someone to suicide every 75 minutes and it is the leading cause of death in men under the age of 50 and in all adults under 35. Despite this, effective support is hard to find.

The Listening Place (TLP) meets this need by providing free, face-to-face, ongoing support to those who feel suicidal. And they know that their support works, with visitors reporting a highly-significant reduction in how suicidal they feel after 3 and 6 months of support.

Lara works for The Listening Place, Thea volunteered there in 2018, and their mum Hils is a Senior Volunteer. We all feel the value of their work very deeply, not least for asylum seekers that have been through so much.

This is Lara's first Half Marathon Ever! And training for it is the first time Lara and Thea will have run together consistently since school. We are so happy to be inspiring each other to get out there during the week, and we are really looking forward to tackling 13.1 miles together, as well as many parkruns and 10ks in the run-up.
