Shaun Ennis is running 12 marathons across Scotland to raise money for SAMH, in memory of his brother Christopher. He had completed seven marathons by Monday and plans to finish at The Nook in Glasgow on Friday.

Ennis is running 314 miles across Scotland in a 12-marathon challenge to raise funds for SAMH, three years after his brother Christopher died following a mental health crisis.
By Monday, he had completed seven marathons on consecutive days; the final one is scheduled for Friday at The Nook, SAMH’s walk-in hub in Glasgow.
Ennis says he hopes the challenge will encourage people, particularly men, to speak more openly about mental health and seek help.
