As most of you know I love running and I am lucky to have a place at the New York Marathon on November 6th. I have chosen to run it in memory of a very special girl. I want to raise as much awareness as possible for this charity that has become close to my heart since the sad and very tragic loss of my dear friend’s daughter Lucy . PAPYRUS is the national Charity for the Prevention of Young Suicide. Suicide is the biggest killer of young people under the age of 35 in the UK, in 2018 over 1800 young people took their own lives. PAPYRUS provides confidential support and advice to young people struggling with thoughts of suicide, and anyone worried about a young person through their helpline, HOPELINEUK. 0800 068 41 41. Every £5 raised can help pay for a life-saving contact to HOPELINEUK. Any donation,however small, would be so appreciated. Your donations really are lifesaving, thank you.
