I was fortunate enough to get into this year’s London marathon via the ballot, which, believe it or not if you’re into running it’s a golden ticket. This will be my 3rd attempt at this iconic road race spanning 15 years (2009 >> 4 Hrs 29 Mins & 2021 >> 4 Hrs), I’m viewing it as a personal trilogy! CALM is a charity that resonates highly with family and close friends so if you can make a donation it will be much appreciated.

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.
