Story

As some of you may know Dad took his own life in 2022. This turned both mine and my brothers life upside down. Luckily we have both been super lucky to have such great support networks and support each other through this. This is why I wanted to challenge myself but also raise money for an exceptional cause who save many lives daily. There are too many people taking their own life especially men in the UK currently. In 3 years dad has missed my wedding and the birth of 2 amazing grand children as well as lots of other things. This just shows how quickly your life could turn around. Please please reach out and get support if you are struggling. 13.1 miles isn’t even close to the struggle that some people experience daily, but if I can do it to support a great cause I will be proud.
