Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

5 years ago my cousin Nick took his own life, he was just 18 years old. Time moves on but we all still miss him greatly.

I am about to turn 18 and will be running the Edinburgh Marathon with my Dad just a couple of weeks after my 18th Birthday, which will make me one of the youngest runners to take part. As well as missing Nick I often think of all the things he could, and should have done, and how much of life he has missed out on. Nick had a passion for sport so I am doing this is memory of him and in celebration of his life.

 I am raising money for Papyrus because they work to prevent young suicide. Nick had so much to live for and was so loved. We should be doing all we can to prevent young suicides.
