Story
9 family and friends (Anthony, Emma, Jonathan, Myles, Will, Benji, Charlie, Henry & Charlie H) spanning 3 generations and an age range of 65 years! have come together to run the Cambridge Half Marathon and raise money for The Samaritans.
The Cambridge connections within our team are our eldest runner, Anthony Halford (aged 83), who attended King’s College in 1960!! and his grandson and fellow runner, Henry, who began studies at Jesus College just last year.
Every single day, around 16 people decide to end their own life across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
We know our service can help people before it's too late.
With over 20,000 volunteers based in 201 branches across 5 nations, we’re actively involved in a community near you.
We reach out and work with schools, colleges and universities, workplaces, health and welfare services, homeless shelters, prisons and other charities.
We also promote awareness of our service at local social venues, community events and music festivals.
