This week on the Wonderspace Podcast, we ask our six questions to Jacky Youldon, the Founder and Director of RunningSpace, whose mission is to champion life and combat suicide, one step at a time. Jacky struggled with suicidal thoughts following a lifetime of self-harm and eventually attempted to take her own life. From this experience, RunningSpace was born, and in 2019, Jacky was awarded the BBC Unsung Sporting Hero award for her life-saving running groups.
"A friend said to me, 'When you run, you're the pioneer of the prevention of suicide.' I thought that was ridiculous, and I cried and asked what I should do about that. 'Just start running,' she said, 'and people will follow you.’”

Jacky also promotes the National Suicide Prevention Alliance which has 1,800 members. https://nspa.org.uk
