Event date

memory image

13th April 2014

On Sunday 13th April 2014, I will be running the London Marathon in memory, and in celebration of my lovely Dad, Robin.

Dad had struggled with the ups and downs of depression for three years, before sadly taking his own life on 28 June 2010. He was a lovely man, with a fantastically dry sense of humour, hardworking and completely dedicated to his three children, his girlfriend Jan, and of course, West Bromwich Albion.

Three days after he died, I turned 24. My boyfriend gave me a card with the words of Abraham Lincoln inscribed on the front, "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years". In that moment, it struck me what a brilliant life my Dad had had. He had travelled all over the world, had three children who adored him, bought the car of his dreams (far too fast and the brightest red you've ever seen), and followed West Brom across the length and breadth of the country (whilst they boing boinged up and down the football league). He had experienced and treasured the things he loved the most. And now I'm trying to do the same, in his memory.

So far the highlights have been, travelling around the world, jumping out of a plane and now running the London Marathon to celebrate what would have been my Dad's 60th year and to raise money for Mind and the incredibly important work they do.

Because of his depression, the afternoon my Dad died he did not feel able to pick up the phone and ask for help. Mind are working hard for better mental health and to ensure that people like my Dad do not feel alone when in crisis. I would be so grateful if you could sponsor me and contribute to the very important work they do.

Thank you

Laura x
