I’ve been thinking for a while about how I can do something for Alex, in his memory and also for the future of other men that may be feeling how he once felt before devastatingly taking his life in June 2020.

I will be running The Hampton Court Half Marathon on 23rd March 2025 in aid of Menfulness, a York based charity that supports tackling the stigma around men’s mental health. I wish with everything I have that Alex had reached out to them before it became too late.

This will be a huge challenge for me, I’ve never been a runner but what I do know is that Alex will be with me every step of the way.
