In April 2025 I will be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon and Andrew will be running the London Marathon. We are both running to raise money for Papyrus, a charity dedicated to preventing suicide in young people and providing support for those in crisis.

We are dedicating our efforts to my cousin Steven who died in March 2024. He was a very private person so his struggles with his mental health were a shock to the whole family. He would often be found in a book or behind a computer screen and he would definitely have had a witty remark about our choice to put ourselves through a half and full marathon.

We want to celebrate his life and raise as much money as possible in his memory so anything small you can share will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Ellie & Andrew
