Brighton Half Marathon 2021 · 10 October 2021 ·

Running events throughout 2021 for Grassroots Suicide Prevention. Together, we can prevent suicide.

Story

We lost our best friend Bonnie to suicide in July 2020. She was one of a kind, beautiful inside and out. We were lucky to have been best friends with her for almost 25 years, she was like a sister. Not a day goes by where we don’t think about her. So we’re completing the Brighton Half marathon in her honour whilst raising money to help others facing similar thoughts.

When someone has thoughts of suicide, connecting with others can make all the difference. But reaching out can feel impossible. So 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. Thats 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. We are running for Grassroots to make this possible. Every step along our journey, every penny we raise, will help us prevent suicide together through Grassroots' lifesaving services.
