Last October, a young member of my family died through suicide. Locket was just 15 when they died. When seeing the shattering impact this had on the family I started looking for ways to remember their life and found that they were just one of over 200 school children who are lost to suicide every year (#SAVETHECLASS).

To raise funds to help Papyrus and to help children and young adults like Locket, I will stretching myself this year to complete  half, full and ultra marathons totaling 200 miles including

22nd January - Fitstuff G3 Half Marathon - Guildford (13 miles) - Completed
6th March - Surrey Half Marathon - Woking (13 miles) - Completed
26th March - Fortitude 10 Hour Ultra - Uckfield (40 miles) - Completed

3rd September - Snowdon Ultra 50 - Betws-Y-Coed (50 miles) - DNF missed cutoff at 30 miles
