Story

We are running the Cardiff Half Marathon in memory of our cousin Lee. Lee recently passed away and his passing has had a significant impact on all those who loved him. As well as honouring his memory we are hoping to raise awareness around suicide and more importantly suicide prevention.

When someone has thoughts of suicide, connecting with others can make all the difference. But reaching out can feel impossible. Too many people go through this pain alone and without support. In fact, 72% of people who die by suicide are not in contact with health services.

That's why preventing suicide means working together. Together, we can fight dangerous stigma that stops people talking about suicide. Together, we can learn to recognise and support those at risk, and connect them with a network of lifesaving services. Together, we can prevent suicide.

Team Grassroots make this possible. Every step along their journey, every penny they raise, helps us prevent suicide together through our lifesaving services.

Remembering Lee’s infectious laugh, huge smile and great sense of humour will get us over the finish line with smiles on our faces.
