Congratulations to our brave (or foolhardy!) volunteer Daren who successfully completed the formidable Equinox Challenge!
Over the weekend of September 17th and 18th this year, Daren successfully completed a gruelling 100kms/62 miles over a 24-hour period along with friends from Bedale & Aiskew Runners.
He joined our branch as a listening volunteer last year and was surprised to learn that Samaritans branches are kept open and running by the generous and kind support of donations from ordinary people.
What prompted him to take up this challenge?
As a very active member of our fundraising team, Daren came across Equinox 24 and thought it would be a fantastic way to raise not only much-needed funds but also awareness to a wider audience of fellow runners of what the Samaritans can offer us all during our times of need!
Huge congratulations and thanks, Daren!
