My Story

Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy, and Samaritans’ vision is that fewer people die by suicide. We believe that suicide is preventable.

Samaritans is here for anyone struggling to cope – day or night, 365 days a year. We take action to prevent people reaching crisis point, helping people find ways to cope and learn the skills to be there for others. We campaign to make suicide prevention a priority.

Samaritans is a charity working across the UK and Ireland and we need donations to help fund our life-saving work.

As a Samaritans listener myself, I have the absolute privilege of supporting our callers during times of emotional crisis. I know firsthand how much this service is needed and valued by those who call. 

This is why I have volunteered to do the 2024 'London Marathon MyWay', with the hope of raising some money in the process. I will still be doing the marathon distance on the day, just not at the official London event. 

Thank you so much for your support!
