Blade Roofing Ltd is committed to supporting charitable organisations like The Jordan Legacy in order to drive awareness about suicide. As a construction company, they are acutely aware of the high rates of suicide in this industry. Earlier this year a number of Blade Roof employees undertook a 100 day walking challenge to help raise funds for us to be able to continue our mission to prevent all preventable suicides.

Then, on Saturday 26th October, one of their engineers, Dan Blake, took on the scenic but also very challenging route of the Beachy Head Marathon 10K run.

Dan recognises the important link between physical health and mental health and undertook this 10k run as part of a challenge he has set himself to become fitter – by the day of the Beachy Head run, he had already reduced his body weight from 19.8 stone (277.2 pounds) to 16.9 stone (236.6 pounds). But, just take a look at the collage above and the read out from those digital scales!.

Not only was this a massive personal challenge undertaken by Dan but on the day of the Beachy Head 10k, he received news that he had reached his fundraising goal of £750!

Thank you Dan and everyone at Blade Roofing for all your support, which will make a huge different in our quest to save more lives.
