London Marathon runner who died in race ironically raising money for suicide prevention

30-year-old Claire Squires collapsed and died less than one mile short of completing the London Marathon on Sunday. Ironically, Squires was working to raise suicide awareness after her brother Grant died of an overdose while battling depression.

In death, she's gone from raising $800 to raising close to $800,000 for the Samaritans.

"Samaritans is available 24 hours a day to provide confidential emotional support for people who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those which may lead to suicide."
