Story

This April, I’ll be running the Manchester Marathon, my first ever marathon. I’ve never even run a half before… but throwing myself in at the deep end and figuring it out along the way feels very on-brand for me.

If you’re able to donate any amount, big or small, would mean the world. Even a quick like or share can really help spread the word.

Why I picked Samaritans?

Samaritans is a charity dedicated to preventing suicide through the power of human connection. They’re there to listen, without judgement and to support people through their darkest moments.

In the UK, over 6,000 people take their own lives each year. In 2024, three in four were men. A heartbreaking statistic, and a big reason why I care so deeply about advocating for men’s mental health.

So let’s keep talking. Let’s keep encouraging people to open up, share how they’re feeling, and not bottle things up. And if you ever feel like a burden, you’re not. Anyone who makes you feel that way isn’t your person.

My DMs are always open.

So is Samaritans: 116 123 - free, 24/7.

Thank you for the support 💚
