Story

Jacs and Ashley are back again doing their 2nd 10K run this year, raising money for mental health charities.

They met volunteering at Jami (mental health charity) in early 2018 where they were both on their own journeys of recovery from very dark place in their minds.

After a few months of working at the social enterprise together they both started to lower their guard and started allowing people in, friendships started to blossom with several of the volunteers.

“A small group of us started to go from terrified-of-our-own-shadows to be playful with life again. Ashley and Jacs had a realisation of having a special bond, a soulful connection that made their platonic friendship very magical.”

Jacs is triathlete and all round super-star entrepreneur! They both love running (a new thing for 2020) and dancing; Ashley is an artist and cheesy quaver, proper old skool; often seen wearing a lions tail with his hand puppet friends: Tiger and King Julian.

“We did our first 10K together (Ash & Jacs not Tigger and King Julian, they don’t have any legs obviously) on May 24th in just over an hour. We actually ran too far, about 11.3km in 1 hr 10mins.”

We are taking part in the Virtual London 10K for CALM on Aug 2nd to help fundraise for their life-saving helpline and webchat. We are aiming on going sub 1hr!!!! eeek.

Please come and support us if you are free: Victoria Park, Finchley, (10 laps, well maybe 9.5 it turns out its longer than 1km per lap) time tbc probably 8am ish.. if you can’t be there in person, please donate; we raised over £2k last time.

Thank you, Ash and Jacs x
