Kathryn's Half Marathon
Fundraising for PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide
Story
On March 12th I am running the Bath Half Marathon, and am raising money for the charity PAPYRUS in memory of my friend Miranda.
Miranda was a unique girl, with a wicked sense of humour. I will always treasure the memories I have of beach trips, and playing 'secret agents' in the park with her and Emily. She was loved by so many people. Unfortunately, in her teenage years she suffered badly with depression and anxiety, and while at university decided she could no longer cope, and took her own life.
PAPYRUS is a great charity that works to end the stigma around mental health and suicide in young people. It also provides support to young people who are suffering, and to the families of those affected.
Hopefully with the work charities like PAPYRUS do, fewer young people will suffer in silence, and fewer people will have to deal with what we have gone through losing Miranda.
Thank you for your support.
