Hi guys! Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m excited (and terrified) to be running the London Marathon 2023 on the 23rd of April. I’ll be running for Samaritans who are an incredible charity full of lots of volunteers manning the phones 24/7 ready to speak to those going through the most awful of times. 

Every ten seconds, they respond to a call for help. No judgement. No pressure. They’re there for anyone who needs someone. 

This is a cause really close to my heart because between in 2020 I hit rock bottom and went through my own mental health struggles. I felt so low, I struggled to leave bed, to eat, to do the smallest of tasks and often had suicidal thoughts. At times I felt like a burden to my loved ones and as a result called Samaritans. The lady I spoke to immediately made me feel less alone and having someone (I didn’t know) there to listen was so comforting. I am lucky to have a supportive family & group of friends but lots of people out there who are struggling don’t have that. That’s why having a charity out there like Samaritans for people to speak to can be the difference between life and death. 

& ever since, I’ve been inspired to help those feeling the same way and show them that there is always a way out.

Please donate below to this amazing cause and I’ll be sure to make it to that finish line! 

Let’s keep the conversations going! Mental health matters.

 & lads…just because you’re male it doesn’t make you ‘less of a man’ if you are struggling. It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them. 

Thanks so much.
