Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the London Marathon 2020 for Mind because of a tragic event earlier this year, which has highlighted the need for more services to be available to support mental health needs.

As a parent of one of Jake McPhail’s friends, I saw Jake grow up into a polite, hardworking, articulate young man with a wicked sense of humour, and a skilful footballer.

From the outside Jake seemed to have everything going for him, but tragically he was struggling on the inside, and took his own life at the young age of 18.

We are all still in shock at the loss of Jake. This has manifested itself by our village pulling together to learn about mental health and support people.

Sadly it wasn’t in time to help Jake, but he will always be in our thoughts.

        ❤️💚❤️  All hail McPhail  ❤️💚❤️
