Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For those of you that don't know, my family had to deal with the sudden death of a Sister, Daughter, Aunt and Best Friend. My sister, Katharina Turner, took her life aged just 37 on 7th October 2012.

I have decided to run the Birmingham half marathon in aid of PAPYRUS, a charity that my family supports. The charity aims to prevent young suicide through support, practical advice and information as many young suicides are preventable.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I would be very grateful for any donations made. Here are just some of the ways your contributions can help to save young lives:

£15 - can pay for one 20 minute call to help a young person in distress overcome their pain and stay safe

£50 - can keep the helpline, text and email services running for over an hour

£200 - can cover the cost of training someone in suicide intervention skills

£350 - would allow a trained mental health worker from PAPYRUS to deliver 5 suicide prevention class room lessons to students and teacher

£1000 - would help deliver 10 suicideTALK sessions to those who work with or care for young people, enabling them recognise and respond to suicidal behaviour

£2000 - would keep the helpline, HOPELineUK, alongside the text and email support services open for vulnerable young people and those around them for an entire week

Thanks for your help.
