Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Myself and an amazing group of friends are running the Bristol 10k to fundraise for Ripple Suicide Prevention.

Ripple Suicide Prevention was founded by Alice Hendy MBE in 2021 following the death of her brother, Josh to suicide (Josh had been researching techniques online to take his own life).

Alice created a software tool that means that if someone searches for self harm or suicide content online, the search will be intercepted and then guided through a filter of breathing exercises, help lines and messages of hope.

Since launching in 2021, R;pple has intercepted more than 70,000 genuine harmful online searches.

My eldest son, Max died by suicide whilst a university student in 2017.

Recent student services guidance has recommended that R;pple is downloaded by all universities and this group of friends is fundraising to support this brilliant charity.
