Raising money for Grassroots Suicide Prevention and The Sussex Beacon

Story

Thankyou for visiting our JustGiving page. Us boys at The University of Sussex Men's Rugby Club are once again running the Brighton Half Marathon, this year it is on 26th February, 2023.

We want to make a difference in the world of mental health, which is why we have chosen to support GrassRoots Suicide Prevention, a Brighton-based charity that is on the frontline tackling the shocking suicide statistics across the UK.

5,583 people died by suicide in 2021, and we believe that by supporting GrassRoots, we have the chance to make a real difference.

GrassRoots created the 1st suicide prevention App in the UK, which has now been used by more than 612,000 people across 135 countries, of which: 80% said it helped them keep someone else safe from suicide; and 76% said it helped keep themselves safe from suicide. GrassRoots have more than 20 years of experience in suicide awareness and training.

This is why we at Sussex Rugby see GrassRoots as a fantastic charity to raise money for - to support the amazing work that they do for the communities we, and our families, live in.

Please consider donating as we get training for our annual Half Marathon taking place on Brighton Beach on 26th February 2023 in front of more than 20,000 people!

Thankyou & Up The Suss!
