Story

In 2026 I will be running the gnr I'm memory of my Uncle Jimmy, losing him to suicide was one of the hardest things I've ever had to come to terms with.

Many people find it hard to speak openly or ask for help, but talking can be life-saving – whether it's with a colleague, family member, friend or helpline like Samaritans. Every 10 seconds, Samaritans volunteers respond to a call for help. Samaritans are available, for free, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to listen and support people with whatever they are facing, with no judgement. It’s only your kind donations and 23,000 listening volunteers that ensure Samaritans can always be there for anyone struggling to cope. If anyone would like to donate to this cause and my uncles memory I would be forever grateful. He was an amazing man, he lit up every room and had a wicked sense of humour.

Thankyou for taking the time to read this and for any donation.
