On the 28th of April 2025 I’ll be tackling the NC500 on foot in order to raise money and awareness for @mikeysline_ , a charity here in the highlands focused on tackling suicide💙

I’ll be aiming to complete the 516 miles in 10 days - equating to about 2 marathons everyday for that week and a half🤠

I’ll also be posting all running/training on Strava so you can keep an eye on how the mileage is racking up towards the challenge!

15 people die from suicide everyday in the UK, and it is one of the highest causes of death of men in their 20’s. I believe challenges of this stature can not only raise money and awareness for these issues but provide an outlet and purpose for people struggling with their mental health too

At Mikeysline, our ultimate aim is suicide prevention. We were established in 2015 following the suicides of two close friends within days of each other, Mikey Williamson and Martin Shaw, both aged 23. Our textline service was set up to provide an anonymous, safe, confidential way to access peer support, a listening ear from someone who understands what that person may be feeling, having their own lived experience of mental health issues. We also offer 1:1 support by appointment. Please visit www.mikeysline.co.uk/appointments to book.
