When someone has thoughts of suicide, connecting with others can make all the difference. But reaching out can feel impossible. Too many people go through this pain alone and without support. In fact, 72% of people who die by suicide are not in contact with a health service about suicide in the year before their death.That’s why preventing suicide means working together. Together, we can fight dangerous stigma that stops people talking about suicide. Together, we can learn to recognise and support those at risk, and connect them with a network of lifesaving services. Together, we can prevent suicide. I am running for Grassroots to help make this possible. Every step along my journey, every penny I raise, will help us prevent suicide together through Grassroots' lifesaving services.

Personally I am running this in memory of Gaz. I miss him, think about him everyday and hopefully any amount raised can help anyone in the future in finding a way out of their troubles. Thank you for donating - it means a lot.
