The 300 in 30 – Running 300km in 30 Days for Suicide Prevention

This September, Llion is taking on The 300 in 30 – an incredible challenge to run 300 kilometres in 30 days, completing 10 kilometres every day throughout September, to raise awareness of suicide prevention and vital funds for local mental health services.

The challenge is proudly supported by the Caersws and Llanidloes Wellbeing and Support Group, whose dedication to promoting mental health and wellbeing in our communities has helped make this fundraiser possible.

All money raised will go to Ponthafren, a local mental health charity that provides essential support to people across the community. Their services include professional counselling, one-to-one support, drop-in sessions, and a variety of activities designed to improve mental health, reduce isolation, and help people build resilience and wellbeing.

Suicide prevention is a cause that affects us all. Every suicide is a tragic loss that leaves a lasting impact on families, friends, workplaces, and communities. Many people who experience thoughts of suicide feel isolated and believe there is nowhere to turn, but with timely support, understanding, and compassionate intervention, lives can be saved. Raising awareness helps challenge stigma, encourages people to talk openly about their mental health, and reminds those who are struggling that they are never alone.

September is recognised internationally as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, making it a powerful time to shine a light on the importance of mental health, encourage conversations, and support organisations that provide life-changing and life-saving services.

For Llion, The 300 in 30 is about far more than covering the miles. Every kilometre represents a commitment to raising awareness, inspiring conversations, and helping ensure that people in our community can continue to access the support they need through Ponthafren.
