Mum’s marathon effort for life-saving charity

DATE

March 24, 2025

Please show your support for Didcot mum Nicole Wright who is stepping up to run the London Marathon on 27th April in aid of The OLLIE Foundation to prevent young suicide

OLLIE stands for One Life Lost is Enough and was founded in 2016 by three parents who lost their teenage sons to suicide.

They do all they can to prevent other families suffering similar tragedies and dissolve the stigma attached to suicide.

Nicole says: “As a solo parent to three neurodiverse children, working as a SEND advocate, and studying social care law, I juggle many plates daily. On top of that, there’s running a home, life admin, and (somehow) finding time for a social life! But running the Marathon has been on my bucket list for years, and for me, exercising outdoors is vital for my mental health. This year, I was lucky to get a ballot place so I can support a charity that means the world to me.

“The Ollie Foundation offer training, events, and resources to equip people with the confidence to support those in crisis. Their mission, One Life Lost is Enough, resonates deeply with me.

“Running a marathon is my way of giving back and shining a light on these charities that have supported my family and so many others. If you can contribute, no matter how small, I’d be deeply grateful.”
