Three marathons. Two weeks. One cause.
Anastasia, our Funeral Director at Cooper & Son in Lewes, is running Brighton, Newport, and London back-to-back this April. For Samaritans. For her mum, who died by su***de in 2008. For herself, because she's called Samaritans when things got dark and she knows the voice on the other end of that line can be the difference between making it through the night and not.
Sunday was her first fundraising day. Six hours. Β£1,022.13 raised. But something else happened too.
People stopped. They talked. They shared stories of loss, of struggle, of the moments when everything felt impossible. They just wanted someone to listen. That's what Samaritans do.
Next fundraiser: 30th January, Tesco Superstore, Lewes.
