In memory of our colleague and friend, Michael, a group of us will be running to Ty Admiral, in the centre of Cardiff.

On September 9th, we'll be running to work down the Taff Trail.

Michael was always one for a physical challenge, so there's no better way to remember him than with one of our own.

A group of us will be starting at the top of Pen y Fan (68km (72km if you count the walk up)), and picking up runners along the way - some runners will be pushing themselves to run their furthest distance yet, some will be using this as a way to start running, and some will be along to talk, remember & raise awareness.

On 11th December, 2023, we lost Michael to suicide, so, this year, we're fundraising for the charity, Platfform, who are a mental health and social change charity working across Wales.

They help people before, during, and after a mental health crisis, aiming to reduce the need for hospital admissions. This includes out-of-hours crisis support and crisis homes.

Their projects also include Supported Housing, Out of Work Service, Pathways to Employment, Counselling Services and many more.

Everything Platfform does is grounded in a trauma-informed and relational approach, focusing on understanding experiences, building trust and supporting recovery, through compassion, respect, and strong connections.
