26.2 Miles for a Cause That Matters
We’re proud to be supporting our Business Development Manager, Joe Richards as he takes on an incredible challenge: running the Paris Marathon on 4 April 2027, alongside his friend Phillip, in support of CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), a mental health charity dedicated to preventing suicide.
It’s about so much more than running 26.2 miles
CALM’s vision is that no one feels like suicide is their only option. Every day in the UK we lose 18 people to suicide. Behind every statistic is a person. A family, a group of friends, colleagues and a life that mattered. This is a cause that is particularly close to Joe’s heart, making this challenge all the more meaningful.
616 miles. 26 weeks. One important cause.
Over the next 26 weeks, Joe will be putting himself through a demanding training programme, covering a total of 616 miles in preparation for race day. It’s a huge commitment but we know that joe will smash it!
iSTORM is delighted to be sponsoring Joe on his journey. We’re incredibly proud of him for taking on this challenge and raising awareness for such an important cause.

Good luck, Joe! We’re all behind you.
