🙋♂️Hello! Ryan here
Thanks for taking the time to check out my pages.
I've spent the last few years going from freefall to stability to uncertainty and all the way back again.
I've been on a journey of self-discovery, I've been familiarising myself with the pang of grief and trying to build a life I look forward to waking up to.
So, I'm running my first ever ultramarathon in Wales. The rolling hills, the cool fresh air, the sounds of squelching mud and a groaning of pain - lovely.
This will be a milestone I hope I can look back on with pride..."I did that!?!" But most of all it'll be a chance to make a tiny amount of change.
I'll be tracking every step of the journey from now until the 10th October where I'll be undertaking The Loop! (https://www.limitlesstrails.co.uk/the-loop-ultra)
Thank you for reading and ESPECAILLY for donating.
Campaign Against Living Miserably - 25% of us will ideate in our lives, we lose 18 each day.
From dealing with my health issues as a child, to more recently coping with my Mum's diagnosis and supporting her care, to navigating the pandemic and overcoming social isolation and mental health challenges - I've often said that I've struggled.
I've been unsettled and hopeless, sometimes numb to my experiences (much of which I now attribute to late-diagnosed ADHD). I've also spent a lot of time wondering what life would be like without me in it. This is known as suicidal ideation.
One in four of us will have suicidal thoughts in our lives. CALM’s vision is that no one feels like suicide is their only option. But right now, too many people are struggling to see a way forward.
We need more open conversations and support for everyone who is struggling. You are not alone. Stay.
🙏Thank you!
Thank you for supporting me on this mission. I am proud that you're here.

See you on the hills!
