We are fundraising for CALM (CAL MCGURK)
I’m walking against suicide.
This October I'm taking on the Lost Hours Walk to deal with grief differently and defiantly, and to remember our sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, partners and friends lost to suicide.
Here’s why:
On average, 125 people take their own lives every week in the UK.
75% of people who take their own lives are not known to mental health services or have not been in touch with mental health services within the last year.
135 people are directly affected by every suicide.
We’re coming together across the country to send a message that that’s not ok. We’re taking to the streets, parks, pavements, public footpaths and promenades to walk against struggling in silence, against being alone, against living miserably.
Anyone can hit crisis point. CALM’s free, anonymous and confidential helpline and webchat are there for anyone who needs support. They’re open from 5pm-midnight every day. Just £8 is enough to fund a professionally-trained helpline worker to answer a call that could save a life. Your support will help fund CALM’s life-saving services when they’re needed most.
You can join my team or donate to my walk below.
Thank you to our Sponsors

“Sometimes it makes me sad though, him being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren’t meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty now they’re gone. I guess I just miss my friend” Love Mamma Rabbit 🐰❤️

Mr McGurk, Cant say I’ve know you for very long but in the short time in which I have, I grown a massive respect for you. The confidence that you have in talking about men’s mental is where I want to be. I spoke you briefly at work about the situation with my dad passing a couple days after Christmas and it definitely highlighted to me that maybe I should be more comfortable speaking about it, to which slowly I feel I am. I don’t know what else to say other than just keep being you Dan and I’ll see you w/c 26th hopefully not in a years time ;) Cam
