Samaritans is a charity very close to my heart, I am back to a running challenge to fundraise 😊

I reached out to Samaritans a few years ago when I was struggling, having a volunteer listen to me and be there when I needed someone was life saving 💚

I started running soon after and it became the BEST headspace, I’ve battled various injuries over the years but running is something I love and always helps burn off some energy!

I met an incredible listening volunteer in 2019 whilst helping with the Samaritans Christmas campaign who gave me the courage to become a listening volunteer myself, we’ve stayed friends ever since that day and have done many armchair interviews over the years 💚

I have now been a listening volunteer for nearly 6 years, it is a privilege to be there for others and give back that time and space that someone once gave me. The importance of listening should never be underrated.

I’ve done a few fundraising challenges for Samaritans over the years, I am always proud to wear that running top and raise awareness for the listening service and I am EXCITED to do it again!

It costs £10 to answer a call for help, please donate if you can, we would really appreciate all your support.

Thank you 💚
