Family and friends take on huge running challenge in memory of Seaham man who took his own life at just 23

More than 120 people took on a huge running challenge in memory of a much-loved man from County Durham who tragically took his own life at just 23.

Alex Liddle, from Seaham, passed away in January 2020, leaving his loved ones devastated. And to pay tribute to him, Alex's friends and family put on their running shoes for a special event on the weekend that would have been Alex’s 26th birthday.

The event was held on Sunday to raise money for two mental health support charities; SHOUT and If U Care Share – falling in line with Mental Health Awareness Week. Participants could either run, jog or walk through Seaham and Sunderland and had the option of running up to 26.2 miles, with a marathon, half marathon and 10k distance on offer.
