Up to age 50, the most likely cause of death for men in the UK is suicide. 18 people take their own life every single day.

Stop and think about that for a second 🤯

I made my first call to Samaritans back in 2017. I didn’t know anything about it, I just didn’t feel like I had anybody else I could talk to.

I’m now 18 months in as a “listener” for Samaritans, Bristol - and I’m also trying to help to re-think how we fundraise to stay sustainable.

Samaritans’ vision is fewer people die by suicide. Volunteers listen all day and night to those struggling to cope - while Samaritans also campaigns to make suicide prevention and mental health a priority.

It’s good stuff!

Anyway, on April 19th - if my hamstrings play ball - I will run a marathon PB, before finally going under 3 hours in Amsterdam in October.

Any money you contribute will go towards our branch, and literally help us keep the lights on for folks doing life-saving work.

Thank you!
