Story

I will be running a minimum of 54 miles (2 marathons) over the course of the month of December, kicking off from the 1st. Anyone who knows me will know I am by no means a runner (unless it's jogging back to kfc because they forgot my large popcorn chicken) but I will put everything I psychically have into a very worthy charity close to my heart, so please dig deep and ill keep you updated every step of the way. 

SUICIDE PREVENTION & INTERVENTION (IOW) ALSO KNOWN AS SPIIOW, IS AN INDEPENDENT CHARITY WITH A SMALL TEAM OF COMMITTED VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE SUPPORTED BY OUR TRUSTEES / MANAGEMENT BOARD WHO OVERSEE THE WORKINGS OF WHAT WE DO. THE PRIMARY FUNCTION OF SUICIDE PREVENTION & INTERVENTION IOW (SPIIOW) IS TO SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY AND SEEK TO SAVE LIVES FROM SUICIDE ACROSS THE ISLE OF WIGHT. OUR HIGHLY SKILLED AND TRAINED PROFESSIONALS ALL OF WHOM ARE MADE UP BY VOLUNTEERS ARE READY TO RESPOND 24 HOURS A DAY, 365 DAYS A YEAR AND READY TO DEPLOY AT ANY TIME, IN ANY WEATHER.Our teams cover some 380 square miles of the Island across varied terrain that includes rural land, forest, cliff & water based areas along with some very steep ground. This means members must be prepared to tackle areas far different to the normal day. SPIIOW is actively involved in suicide prevention as we see first-hand the devastation that it causes to families, friends and our community.
