Thanks for visiting my Just Giving Page. I will be running the 2023 Adidas Manchester Marathon representing Snappy Runners to raise awareness and funds for James' Place - A men's mental health charity based in Liverpool. Working across various mental health settings has inspired me to raise money for this important cause. I am hoping that, through this challenge, I can increase awareness and reduce stigma, in turn, encouraging men to talk.
Why James' Place?
James' Place exists to save the lives of men in suicidal crisis, making the experience of finding help as easy as possible. It offers men who are experiencing a suicidal crisis a brief intensive, therapeutic intervention in a safe environment.
- UK suicide is still the single leading cause of death of men under 50.
- In England & Wales in 2021, 5,583 people* died by suicide of which three-quarters were men.
