On 26th April 2026, I’ll be running Stratford Marathon.

I’ve been training the last 6 weeks while trying to decide which charity I’d like to run for and I’ve finally chosen CALM.

CALM has been preventing suicide since 2005. They are open every day and support people of all ages.

In the UK, around 200,000 people attempt suicide every year.

125 people die by suicide every week.

Suicide is the leading cause of death in men under 50, and suicide rates among young women (24 and under) have seen the steepest increase since the charity began.

This will be my first marathon, running has saved me over the past year, it’s kept me sane when life has felt overwhelming, has given me time to myself to and even helped me make friends.

Thank you so much for any donation. I’ll be sure to update you on the other side!
