I have decided to tackle my second Great North run and this year I’ve decided to fundraise for 'Campaign against living miserably' (CALM). I am raising money for CALM as their mission is so important and very dear to my heart.

CALM helps people navigate the toughest days and gives people the tools and resources to help people find the support they need. This includes a life-saving helpline for people who can’t see a way forward, have lost someone to suicide, or are worried about their friends or loved ones.

£12.20 is enough to fund one potentially life-saving call.

We should never have to feel like suicide is our only option but if you do CALM is there to listen and talk. I want to dedicate my run to those who feel like suicide is their only option, to those who can see the light at the end of the tunnel but aren't quite there, and to those who have bad days but continue to fight you are all superstars.
