Hey I’m Jonah , thanks for visiting the page

Ive decided to run my first marathon for CALM ( Campaign Against Living Miserably ) as they offer life saving support to people that are struggling ,and are fighting to make sure fewer families and friends are going through the heartbreak of losing someone to suicide and depression. I’ve personally battled with my own mental health a lot in the past , lots of ups n downs and unfortunately seen the same for a lot of my friends over the years. I lost a great friend of mine just over a year ago . It has had a massive effect on my life and is why I wanted to raise money for this cause as it’s something I feel very strongly about. Losing my friend really made me realise how urgent the need is to talk about mental health, break the stigma around it , especially in men and make sure no one has to feel like they have nowhere to turn. Thankfully for me I’ve always had great support from my family and brilliant group of friends especially when I needed it most , but I know that’s not the case for everyone. I’m currently out in Australia and even though I’m on the other side of the world I know I still have people I can talk to and want to help to make that a possibility for others.

I will be running the Perth Marathon on Sunday 12th October. It is my first marathon and I know I’ve got a lot of training and miles to put in but i hope we can raise up some money for this great cause . Every little helps and would appreciate any shares or donations . Thanks :)))
