johnofford30 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) UPDATE Hi All, I lost my brother back in 2013 under tragic circumstances, he was just 36 years old. He had a mental illness and it all came too much when our father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. I’ve decided to run my first ever half marathon in Sheffield this April in memory of my brother and to raise funds for the Mental health charity, Mind. I want to raise awareness of mental health issues and to say that nobody should have to suffer alone. If you want to donate, you can find me by typing my name (John Offord) into the Virgin Money Giving website. I can’t post direct links on here because I’m new to this site. I also want to thank everyone that has kindly donated. I am genuinely touched by the kindness of strangers and I’m happy to say I’ve now raised £590 out of my £1000 target. I would appreciate any donations, even £1 would make a difference. Thank you, John Edited January 28, 2018 by johnofford30 Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
