After losing my dad to suicide in 2021 mine and my families lives were turned upside down and will never be the same again. The loss of my dad has had such a significant impact on every part of my life especially my mental health which is why this cause is so close to my heart. It’s not just providing support for the people in need, it makes sure friends and family don’t have to suffer the tragic loss of someone they love to suicide.

I'm walking or running (if my Achilles lets me) 31 miles throughout the month to help ensure more people can access the mental health support they need, when they need it most.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help Mental Health UK continue providing vital services, information and support to people across the UK.

If you're able to sponsor me I would be truly grateful and thank you isn’t enough to show how much I appreciate your kind gesture! If you’re unable to sponsor me and have read this then all I ask is please check in on your friends & family from time to time. Send someone a text, hug someone or tell someone how much they mean to you because you don’t know if it’s the last time you’ll speak to that person. That small kind gesture could have such a positive impact on someone’s day that it really could change their life especially if they are struggling with their mental health!
