A group of first responders are preparing to lace up their running shoes for the mental health charity I Am Hope in Christchurch.
Members from the police, fire and ambulance services along with defence force and civil defence personnel will take part in a 24 hour relay tomorrow.
The runners are hoping to raise $20,000 dollars for the I am Hope charity which makes it easy for young people to access counsellors.
Senior Constable Glen Dawson told Kate Hawkesby it's personal to a lot of the people taking part.
He says they often have a front row seat to mental health and suicide episodes.
