Story

In October 2016, a very dear friend of ours was taken by suicide. He was 44 years old. It was a complete shock to us all and in that moment so much changed. Spencer  loved the outdoors and also ran some half marathons (notably the Bath Half) himself.  He inspired so many friends to come together and be active. Sadly, other aspects of his life robbed him of hope but he hid it well.

Following his death, we learned the true meaning of friendship. For me, Laura was a friend who, despite not knowing Spencer, reached out and offered support when I needed it most.

This run is about friendship, support and being there regardless. Most of all it is about Spencer - keep running and keep listening
