Thanks for reading this page.

My father passed away when he was 55 years old, I will be 54 when I run the London marathon. I would really appreciate your help in raising awareness and money for the Samaritans who do wonderful work in helping people struggling with life's challenges. My father's passing proved a really testing time for my family and to this day some of us still struggle to come to terms with the manner of his death. More importantly, my father did not survive. I loved my father and still miss him. He died too young. I hope my small efforts will help someone and prevent their family dealing with the repercussions of suicide.

This is my truth and not necessarily my entire family's - recollections vary.
