In the summer of 2021, at the age of 33, Ross Keenan lost his battle with poor mental health and tragically took his own life. Described by his brother as someone whose ‘greatest attribute was his heart, no matter the odds or the adversity, he charged headfirst, standing up for himself and others, always picking the underdog. He was the most loyal friend, a person with unconditional love, who you could call on whatever the situation.’

To honour his brother’s life and in support of The Jordan Legacy, on February 24th 2022, Ross’s 34th birthday, Cameron ran 34 kilometre’s, over gruelling terrain, ascending Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, at an elevation of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level! Waiting for him at the summit was his mum and sister, Georgia. Cam raised an incredible £7300+ for The Jordan Legacy.

Then on February 25th 2024 he decided to do it all over again, together with a couple of friends Elliot Forder and Tom O’Sullivan. But later that year, tragedy struck again – Elliot also took his own life.

On Saturday, February 22nd, 2 days before what would have been Ross’s 37th birthday, Cam, together with an even larger group of friends, took on the “Rossathon” challenge, once again, raising in excess of £8000 to support our mission at The Jordan Legacy. This time they were running in memory of Ross, Elliot, Jordan and at the summit of Snowdon, they scattered the ashes of another young man, Andrew, the son of Cam’s mother’s best friend.

This is why The Jordan Legacy exists to remind us all that we are losing too many people and young men in particular to suicide!
