On 30 May 2027 I'm running the Edinburgh Marathon for SANE, and I'm asking for your help to reach my target of £500.

I'm running in memory of my friend Jackson, who died by suicide in 2020. I'm running so that other people like him have somewhere to turn.

SANE has supported people affected by mental illness since 1986. They run SANEline, a helpline open 4pm to 10pm every day of the year, along with Textcare and an online support forum, and they fund research into the causes and treatment of mental illness. For a lot of people who call, it's the first time they've said any of it out loud to anyone.

Every donation, whatever the size, helps keep those lines open. Thank you for reading, and thank you for anything you can give.
