In April 2025, we will be running the London Marathon to raise money for the Samaritans in memory of our beloved father, who tragically took his own life exactly nine years ago today (16th September 2015).

The 2025 Marathon will mark a decade after his passing, where we will continue to celebrate his life whilst helping to raise money and awareness for suicide prevention.

Suicide remains the leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK. These numbers highlight the urgent need for the work that the Samaritans do every day, providing crucial support to those struggling with mental health issues and suicidal thoughts.

Our late grandfather also volunteered on the Samaritans helpline, dedicating his time to supporting others in their darkest moments.

We are raising funds for the Samaritans to help them continue their life-saving work. By supporting our marathon run, you'll be honoring both our father’s memory and our grandfather’s legacy, while contributing to the fight against this devastating issue.

Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. Thank you for your support.
