In the UK, suicide is the single largest cause of death for men under the age of 50, nearly 12 men lose their lives to suicide every day.

In May 2019, my dad tragically took his own life after a long battle with mental health.

On the 14th April, I am running the Manchester marathon, where my dad was born, in order to raise awareness for Mind.

Mind gives support and advice to empower anyone experiencing mental health issues, promoting and representing connections through shared experiences.

Together, we can be the change needed to ensure no one has to face a mental health problem alone.
