Runners Raise Funds for Mental Health Charities

Various individuals are taking on ambitious marathon challenges to raise funds and awareness for mental health and cancer-related charities. Jack Faulds from Island Roads is running 16 marathons in January to support CALM, having raised over £800 so far. Meanwhile, Tim Stevens is halfway through his 12 marathons in 12 days for Severn Hospice, motivated by his family's experience with the hospice, and has raised over £2,300. Jack Goodwin completed his 'Megathon Challenge' of 15 marathons to raise funds for brain cancer research in memory of his mother, collecting £2,740. Additionally, James Cooper is nearing the end of his year-long marathon challenge to support Samaritans, culminating in his final marathon on December 31. These efforts highlight a collective drive to address mental health issues and support those affected by cancer through community engagement and personal stories.
