Last July, I lost my dad to suicide. He was my biggest supporter - kind, caring, and always there for me. Losing him this way has been devastating, and grief can feel incredibly lonely. Suicide & Co have been a lifeline, providing therapy to help me navigate this loss.

Suicide bereavement is rarely talked about, but it affects so many. In 2023, 6,069 people died by suicide in England and Wales, leaving countless loved ones struggling in silence. Those left behind face a higher risk of mental health struggles, which is why the support Suicide & Co provides is so vital.

Running has always been an outlet, providing me with focus during such a turbulent time. I’m taking on the Royal Parks Half Marathon to honor my dad’s memory and raise awareness for those grieving.

If you can, please consider donating to Suicide & Co. Your support ensures no one has to face this journey alone.

Thank you.
