Hello and thank you!

I've managed to persuade this bunch of amazing people to come on a 24 mile walk with me to raise money and awareness for the Central London Samaritans - a listening service for those that feel depressed, suicidal and feel like they have nowhere else to turn.

Please meet Tim, Tats, Mel, Chris, Po and Jen! - Photos to follow, I can assure you they are an attractive bunch ;)

The charity has been running for over 50 years, is predominantly run by a group of over 200 volunteers who dedicate themselves to answering calls 24/7, 365 days of the year. That's right- 365 days and since opening, they have NEVER closed.

I've been a volunteer on their fundraising committee now for 3 years or so and can assure you, they're very very lovely people. I've been working to create local partnerships and encourage people to fundraise for them. But now it's time to get off the soapbox and physically do a challenge event to raise money myself.

Please do give what you can to this great cause and to give my lovely walking team more motivation. 

A bit more about the Samaritans:- 

-  we take over 10,000 calls a year for people who have nowhere else to turn

-  £4 helps us take a call from someone struggling to cope and may be suicidal

-  £20 helps to train a volunteer to be there at 4am to listen when no-one else is up

-  £45 keeps our Central London branch open for an hour.
