London Landmarks Half Marathon

1st August 2021

I've decided to take on probably the biggest challenge of my life so far by signing up to do the London Landmarks Half Marathon on behalf of Central London Samaritans on 1 August 2021.

We've been living with restrictions for over a year. While these restrictions have an impact on what we can do or where we can go, they also have a huge impact on mental health. There is an increased feeling of isolation and anxiety with the future being so uncertain. There have been times where I've struggled over the past 12 months but I'm finding that training for the half marathon is having a hugely positive impact on my mental health. I'm helping myself and also raising money to help others.

Charities like the Samaritans are facing the double whammy of increased demand for their support but a reduction in funds. £10 can provide ongoing email support for someone struggling to cope. £20 can cover the cost of 5 calls for help. £40 keeps the branch open for an hour Anything you can donate will make a huge difference.
