Story
On October 13th, me and my gal Maddie will be running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in support of The Listening Place (TLP), a beautiful charity where we are both Listening Volunteers.
In the UK, we lose someone to suicide every 80 minutes, with suicide being the leading cause of death in men under 50 and all adults under 35. Despite the numbers, effective support can be difficult to find.
As volunteers we’ve witnessed the incredible work TLP does offering free, face-to-face, ongoing support to those who feel suicidal. Their impact is real, often after just 3 months of support, visitors report a significant reduction in their suicidal feelings. Since its founding, The Listening Place has helped over 14,000 people and aims to support 6,000 more this year alone.
If you can afford it at the moment, every donation makes a difference, making sure TLP can keep providing support to people in the time they need it most. If you can't donate cash pls do send your thoughts and prayers instead!!!
Thank you so much -
