Thanks for visiting my Just Giving page and taking a moment to understand why I am taking part in the Brentwood Half Marathon in support of ‘REMEMBER’ and the CALM Charity.

Completing this run will be a great sense of achievement & personal goal for myself and training partner Jessica Dolan who is also taking part in this run for her chosen charity The Dream Factory; https://www.justgiving.com/JESSICA-DOLAN3

REMEMBER is a cause founded by a close friend/friends of mine who are passionate about raising awareness of male suicide. It is unfortunately an issue that has affected all of us by tragic loses and is a subject very close to our hearts.

The aim of REMEMBER is simple: to put on non-profit events to get people talking about men’s wellbeing in an environment that’s not sterile but, instead, tied in with enjoying the things we love: music, food & art. They want to spread the message that it’s OK to talk about your problems and ask for help if you need it, and to support the outstanding work the CALM Charity are doing. REMEMBER are not a charity, it’s a group of friends who want to make a difference and have a good time along the way.

CALM or ‘Campaign Against Living Miserably’ is a charity which exists to prevent male suicide in the UK, in 2014, male suicide accounts for 76% of all suicides and is the single biggest cause of death in men under 45 in the UK.

For this reason I would be super appreciative if you guys could donate anything you can, The smallest donation will make the biggest difference to such a worthy cause.

Thanks so much, Lucy xxx
