This year, for the first time - I've taken on the challenge to run the London Marathon!  

I've decided to take on this huge challenge to raise awareness and funds for CALM a charity who's work I'm so passionate about that I even came on board in 2019 as an official ambassador to help support and raise awareness for the amazing work they do for our community. 
So why CALM? 

On average 125 people in the UK TAKE THEIR OWN LIVES EVERY WEEK. 

Mental health issues are on the rise in the UK and suicide is the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK.

This affects us all in some way or another, yet we rarely talk about it..

This is where CALM comes in ,they are:

- Leading a movement against suicide 
- Offering life saving services 7 days a week
- provoking national conversation 
-reducing the mental health stigma

and..

EMPOWERING EVERYONE TO REJECT LIVING MISERABLY AND STAND TOGETHER AGAINST SUICIDE.

Every mile logged in my training is dedicated to creating lasting change for a happier, stronger and united community where we don't have to suffer in silence and with your help this 26.2 will be worth every step.

So please, if you can, donate, so CALM can continue doing their life saving work. It doesn't matter how small, every penny helps! 

AND please share my page to anyone who wants to join the conversation  help me raise awareness  for CALM x 

Thank you for your support!
