Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, and supported Steps for Alex. This journey would not have been possible without the incredible dedication of both runners and supporters. On this final day, we are humbled and proud that together we have reached over 200,000 kr in donations, a number beyond anything we could have imagined.

This fundraising effort has shone a light on the vital work of Kirkens SOS in suicide prevention, where volunteers offer a listening ear during people’s most difficult times. The spirit of this initiative truly reflects Alex, his impactful life and the way he touched those around him have made it possible for us to raise funds so that others may find support when they need it most.

To everyone who has been part of this whether by running, donating, or simply spreading the word, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Hei, tusen takk til familie og venner av Alex for at dere har opprettet denne sterke og meningsfulle spleisen. Gjennom «Steps for Alex» bærer dere videre hans varme, omsorg og evne til å lytte – og gjør sorgen til en kraft som kan redde liv.  

Hver dag snakker vi med 400 mennesker som tar kontakt med oss fordi livet kjennes tungt. Allikevel er det mange flere som forsøker å ta kontakt, som bare møter et opptattsignal. Med støtten fra denne spleisen kan vi svare flere – slik at færre må stå alene i sine mørkeste øyeblikk.  

Vi er dypt takknemlige for at dere hedrer Alex sitt minne på en måte som gir håp til andre. 

Sammen gjør dere en forskjell.
