I have entered Brighton Marathon i did it early this year as i want to train seriously and god forbid i do have any health issues like last year it wont overly effect me to much.
I decided to Run for 2 charities one being Suicide prevention’s for many reasons i am running for this charity, as many know i live with a mental health condition that sadly from time to time puts me in a place where i try and take my life while i control it better i still have blips, my Dad also was the victim of suicide he sadly took his life when i was a wee boy, i think if he could see the devastation he left behind and what myself and my sister had to endure after he would probably have changed his mind, but he lost my brother and the death caused to much grief for him. When i was found on the cliffs a person arrived that had been on one of Suicide prevention’s courses and without her who made me feel very safe and stable i think that evening would have been far more intense than it was, she was a Sussex Police officer but she paid for the course herself after the incident at Newhaven Swing bridge which she was caught up in. Suicide prevention’s also invented a App called the stay alive app which is the first of its kind.
I have also decided to run for Blind Veterans UK as well there a organisation i been around since i have been around in East Sussex due toLindsey Mimi McBride ,@Jane Hume Poyner and David Poyner and theFriends of Blind Veterans UK Bowmen formerly St Dunstans archery team, while we dont go as often as we did any more we always stay in contact with Jane and David, i usually run for Lilly Foundation as its a condition David Suffers with and he is a man that amazes me beyond words, but given i have a number of friends that are now in the army and after being at Seaford Rugby Football Club recently and the amount of service men up there i decided that i want to donate to Blind Vetrans this time.
This is why i created a team page so people can donate to either charityhttps://www.justgiving.com/teams/seansmarathongoal
This will be my biggest challenge other than the demons i fight in my head. Please share this and help me raise as much as possible as i deeply want to do both charities proud
