Diespeker MD John Krause once again shows his unwavering determination to fundraise for stem4 by taking part in the TCS London Marathon 2025 – which will also be his 222nd marathon!
John is aiming to raise a minimum of £3,000 for stem4, the teenage mental health charity that Diespeker has proudly supported from the beginning.
The charity was set up in 2011 after the death of a local teenager who lost her battle with an eating disorder. stem4 promotes positive mental health in teenagers and those who support them including their families and carers, education professionals, as well as school nurses and GPs through the provision of mental health education, resilience strategies and early intervention.
Much of this is delivered digitally through stem4’s innovative education programme, pioneering mental health apps, clinically-informed website, and mental health conferences. Together, these contribute to helping young people and those around them thrive.
The charity’s award-winning apps include:
- Calm Harm: Helping teenagers manage or resist the urge to self-harm.
- Clear Fear: Supporting children and young people in managing anxiety symptoms.
- Move Mood: Helping teenagers manage low mood and depression.
- Combined Minds: Empowering families and friends to provide mental health support.
- Worth Warrior: Supporting young people with low self-worth, poor body image, and eating disorders.
John says: ““Running marathons will always be a challenge for me but knowing that every step I take will help young people in distress keeps me focused. stem4 is a small charity that makes a big difference. Your support can help provide life-changing resources for teenagers in need.”
John is determined to make this marathon count. By supporting his effort, you can help stem4 continue their vital work with young people.
