Brighton Half Marathon 2025 · 2 March 2025 ·

Our mission is to stop men dying by suicide and we believe death by suicide is preventable. Yet, in the UK suicide is still the single leading cause of death of men under 35. At James’ Place, we provide professional therapy for men in suicidal crisis to help them find hope for the future.

Story

A year ago, in early February 2024, my brother took his own life. It was sudden, unexpected and completely out of character.

I could write a million words here and it would never be enough to explain what Matt meant to me. In the last few years we had drifted apart a little but that never stopped me loving him, he was my absolute hero and losing him has left a gaping hole that can never be filled.

Matt was a much loved son, brother, husband, father, uncle and friend. He has a wonderful family, was hugely popular and had a great circle of friends. His family and friends miss him dearly.

In memory of Matt, I am running the Brighton Half Marathon raising funds for James' Place.

All funds raised (big or small) go directly to the charity and can help save a life.

Thank you x
