On 8th October I'm running the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise money for Samaritans.
As many of you know, Mark and his mum Rosie volunteer weekly at our local Samaritans branch listening to and supporting people who are in desperate need of a safe place to talk about how they're feeling and whatever is going on in their lives. It's an incredible but difficult commitment, which I really admire but not sure I could ever do(!), so this is my way of supporting too.
Samaritans provides support via phone, email and text 24/7 to vulnerable, lonely, homeless and/or suicidal people. It's an essential free service that for many of the callers is literally a lifeline
Any donations you are able to give, however small, will help Samaritans to continue their incredible work - all of which is volunteer-organised and donation-funded - so it is really important for us to fundraise.
Thanks so much for your support! Em xx
