🏃‍♀️ I’m Running the Royal Parks Half Marathon for Samaritans on the 12th October 2025 💚

This year, I’m proud (and a little nervous!) to be taking on the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise money for Samaritans, a charity that means a great deal to me personally.

Samaritans is there for anyone struggling to cope — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and is often supported by vital volunteers. They’ve been an incredible source of support in my life during some difficult times, and their support enabled me to continue working towards my dreams and now I want to give something back.

Why Samaritans?

• Every 10 seconds, someone contacts Samaritans.

• In 2023, over 3 million calls for help were answered by their trained volunteers.

• Suicide is still the leading cause of death among young people in the UK.

Samaritans makes sure no one has to face things alone.

Your donation, big or small, will directly help fund their 24/7 helpline, where Jo has a special place in my heart, and volunteer training that make sure support is available where it’s needed most.

I’ll be pushing through every mile with gratitude for the support I’ve received in those dark months and determination to cross to the line with the charity that help others in difficult times.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting 💚

Love Jodie 💚
