*** This is our new JustGiving Page because we had technical issues with the original page!***
Here We go! We will be putting on our running shoes in a few weeks time and taking on the toughest challenge of our life! Running a ½ marathon everyday for 30 days! Starting on the 1st of April 2023.
This is Our WHY we are taking on this challenge:
On the 29th of November 2022 our life changed forever. We were startled by a knock on the door late at night. We looked out the window to see the police at the door. Then came a weird long wait of confusion and fear before we were told "You no longer have a Dad" ... Hearing those words completely broke us and on the 11th of January 2023 we said goodbye to our dad forever.
We have chosen to raise money for the charity CALM - Campaigning against living miserably.
CALM starts conversations using a non clinical approach across different cultural channels like sport, music, comedy and fashion. Calm bring people together to get help when they need it and don't die from suicide. Calm has a life saving 24/7 life line so they are always there when needed. We want to raise money to help stop other family and friends from what Our family and friends are going through. We don't want anyone to go through this!
Thank you for finding time to read our story. Any donation means so much and will make a difference. Please share as many times as you can.
Rest in peace Dad, WE love you!
Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is leading a movement against suicide. Every week 125 people in the UK take their own lives. And 75% of all UK suicides are male. CALM exists to change this by offering life saving services, provoking conversation and bringing people together to reject living miserably.
From advice on our site, through to free, confidential chats with our helpline staff, online or on the phone, we’re here for whoever needs us, every day. No matter what.
£8 is enough to fund one potentially life-saving call.
