Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On October the 8th I shall be taking on a 5K run with 20+ obstacles and 2+ BG survival challenges. This will be the first ever run/5K I have done.

The event explains that as I make my way through the survival zones, I will encounter scenarios found in some of the toughest terrains and surroundings, where I will truly experience what survival is like in the Jungle, Desert, Mountains and Arctic.

I am raising money for Samaritans, a registered charity aimed at providing emotional support to anyone in emotional distress, struggling to cope, or at risk of suicide throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The Samaritans are there for people when they need them, which could be any time of day or night. People talk to them for as long as they like, as many times as they like. They don't rush, interrupt or push anyone out of the door. They let people lead the conversation at their own pace. There's no waiting lists, and no assessments.

A lot of people feel they have nobody to turn to and sometimes even if they do, they feel others will judge them, not understand or won't want to listen.

Having struggled with issues of my own I know how this feels and this charity provide such an amazing service that I feel helping them will help others realise there is always someone available for them to turn too. Nobody should ever feel like they have to keep things in and deal with everything alone.
