Worthing 10k · 3 June 2018

We’re Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), and we’re a suicide prevention charity. We host a helpline for people affected by suicide, as well as vital online resources for anyone who needs them.

Story

After suffering from the ages of 19-21 with depressive and suicidal thoughts I feel as though I have reached a time in my life where I want to show people that I am making a change. Instead of just updating people on social media I want to get out there and show people that if I can do it (the most anxious human ever) then you can too! 

I have met far too many men over the last few years that hide their emotions or are too scared to express them. This should never have to be the case. I was always judged by too many people for expressing my problems out loud and it drove me to feel like it wasn't okay..

It is okay. It is normal.

If you're reading this and you're struggling right now, I promise you are not alone. I care about how you feel. I want to hear how you're feeling..

"Every week, 84 men in the UK die by taking their own life, amounting to one life lost every two hours. Male suicide continues to be the biggest killer of men under 45.."

Please give what you can, it might not make me run faster but it certainly will make a start on lowering those horribly high numbers..
