In a world where many struggle to find their voice, the importance of reaching out cannot be overstated.

Every day, countless individuals face overwhelming challenges, yet they often hesitate to ask for help.

This is where the incredible work of Samaritans comes into play.

"Every 10 seconds, a Samaritans volunteer responds to a call for help," providing a lifeline to those in need.

Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, these compassionate volunteers listen without judgment and offer support to anyone grappling with life's difficulties.

It is through your generous donations and the dedication of over 23,000 volunteers that Samaritans can continue this vital work.

As I prepare to participate in the Great North Run on September 7th, 2025, I am inspired by the resilience of those who reach out for help and the unwavering support provided by Samaritans.

My goal is to raise £300 to ensure that this essential service remains available for everyone who needs it.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of many who are struggling.

Thank you for your kindness and support.
