Dr Who? Posted 28 August, 2023 Share Posted 28 August, 2023 I am running the Great North Run with my daughter on September 10th. I secured the spot through ballot, and did and do not need to raise any money for a charity, but my motivation as always been in support of mental health after suffering from depression in 2018/2019. Even though I have been good ever since coming off the tablets, I still am very aware of how I self destructed and tried to destroy my marriage and family at the same time. if you can please sponsor me and give money to this great charity that I hold close to my heart and head. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/kevin-sim4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 8 September, 2023 Author Share Posted 8 September, 2023 I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has donated to the above. I do not think I have met any of you on here, but I am always amazed by the generosity of fellow Saints fans and those that have been impacted in one way or another through mental health and the lack of resources for it. We had a nice write up here in the local press in Carlisle, even though I would have preferred them to say father and daughter, rather than man and daughter. Thank you 😊 https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/23751811.carlisle-man-daughter-great-north-run-charity-mind/?fbclid=IwAR2ba3t2PEuEZneFx1H6nYHtjmgtqskyQHeRC5xeZL_sgbHOb0mw_GC37SM_aem_AfYD0KLz6KfN8jZnn9KKhdcA6dynQ3GwDmA4mFYQKfyE-KbUm_Jic5uO9QOLMmbQqFg https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/kevin-sim4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smug in the knowledge you whatever else goes wrong in your life you will never be a Geordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted 9 September, 2023 Share Posted 9 September, 2023 Good luck, there's a threat of some thundery showers, which would probably be quite nice with the current temperatures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
