A year ago, I never would have believed I'd be writing this.

There was a time when I truly believed the world would be better without me. I reached a point where the pain felt unbearable, and I made an attempt to end my own life. Looking back now, it's difficult to put into words just how dark that time was. I felt lost, hopeless, and convinced that things would never get better.

But they did.

Not overnight, and not without setbacks. Recovery wasn't a straight line. It took support, time, courage, and countless small steps forward. Some days, simply getting out of bed felt like an achievement. And some days it still does.

Today, those small steps have become something I never thought possible.

In 2027, I'll be running the TCS London Marathon.

Every mile I run is a reminder of how far I've come—not just physically, but mentally. From a place where I couldn't imagine tomorrow, to training for 26.2 miles and looking ahead with hope.

I'm running for suicide prevention because I know what it's like to believe there's no way out. I also know that recovery is possible, that lives can change, and that the right support can make all the difference.

If my story reaches even one person who is struggling, I hope they know this: the way you feel today does not have to be the way you feel forever. There is hope, even when you can't see it yourself.

Every donation will help support people who are facing the darkest moments of their lives and help ensure they have somewhere to turn. Together, we can help save lives, raise awareness, and remind people that they are never alone.

Thank you for supporting me on this journey. Every donation, every share, and every word of encouragement means more than I can ever say.

From surviving to running 26.2 miles.

This marathon is for everyone who is still fighting—and for everyone who couldn't.
