On the 10th of October, Gina Vickers and several of her friends decided to run the 26.2 miles of the Manchester marathon. This group of University chums were doing this in memory of one of their best friends, Harrison De George, pictured in the centre of the group photo below. On the 7th of December 2020 Harrison, a trainee teacher, took his own life aged just 23.

October 10th was also a significant date to Harrison’s friends as it was World Mental Health day. Harrison was passionate about mental health and encouraged others to talk and to even reach out to him if they ever needed.

Gina and friends raised a staggering £4797 for The Jordan Legacy.
