In the last couple of years, I have lost two very significant people in my life which has been devastating. One is my Granny due to old age, and the other is my big brother not due to old age. My Granny was a Samaritan in her younger years and always continued to support them where she could during her life, and my brother could have benefited from the help Samaritans provide, if only he had been strong enough to contact them.

In memory of both my brother and my Granny, I am taking on the 25km Cotwold Way Challenge to help give something back and to do what I can to ensure this valuable charity can continue to support those who need it.

If you are able to support me in my challenge, I would be so grateful. Any donation, no matter how big or small will help to make such a difference, and every penny will go to the charity. No donated money will fund my participation in the event.
