Hi everyone, 

I have decided to challenge myself to run 100km over the month of May this year in memory of my sister, Laura. The 21st of April will mark 11 years since she left this earth and not a day goes by that I do not think of her and wish things had been different for her. It breaks my heart to see my children grow up without their auntie and to think of all that she could have done with her life. We are surrounded by people struggling with daily life for many different reasons and have seen a huge decline in mental health, particularly throughout this pandemic. 

I will also take part in a virtual walk named the ‘Walk of hope’ on the weekend of the 7th-9th of May along with my mum, dad and Graeme. Please support us in raising money for this amazing cause. 

Chris’s house are an amazing charity. Chris’s House stands for ‘Centre of Help, Response and Intervention Surrounding Suicide’ and has been set up to offer a safe environment where people in, or approaching, suicidal crisis can have a safe place to go and get professional support.  This will help them to begin to recover from their current mental ill health. 

It is more important than ever to raise awareness of ill mental health and for people to know they are not alone.
