This year I am running the 2024 Edinburgh Marathon and proudly fundraising for the important charity SOS Silence of Suicide. SOS provides vital assistance to those facing serious challenges, including through their helpline which supports people having thoughts of suicide and in need of urgent help.

Since being founded in 2015, the dedicated and highly trained team at SOS has taken thousands of calls and likely saved many lives.

Those who know me a bit better will know why this cause matters to me and with your generous support we can make a real difference to those who are struggling.

The marathon (my first ever!) is set to take place on Sunday 26th May and my goal is to raise £300 for this crucial cause. 100% of your donation, no matter how big, will directly contribute to the essential services that SOS provides. For example, your donation could go towards training frontline call handlers, or be used to signpost vulnerable individuals towards the support that SOS provides.

Further information about SOS can be found on their website: https://sossilenceofsuicide.org
