I will be running 100 miles in November in memory of my beloved friend Michelle who tragically has taken her life away. Receiving a message from her mother was absolutely shocking and I still can’t believe Michelle is no longer with us. She was one of the loveliest, most caring and simply amazing people I’ve ever met.

Please help me raise money towards Suicide prevention charity to help other people who struggle, like Michelle did…
