I'm fundraising for CALM in memory of my brother Christopher

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 sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, partners and friends lost to suicide.
I'm doing it in memory of My Big Little Bro Christopher 


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.

As those who know me, you know I can't exactly do the walk, so I'll be participating by doing the 26 miles (yes you read it right!) in my wheelchair and over several days throughout October. 

So if you can I would very much appreciate your help in donating to my challenge and helping out others. 
You donate to my walk below.

I DID IT!!

Tuesday 27th Oct
Well my challenge is complete!! I actually can't believe that I've done it.
After 12 days, blisters, tired arms sore wrists and even a stomach workout (I actually think I might have some abs lol) I completed my #LostHoursWalk on Saturday (24th).
I didn't expect to be as emotional as I was, but I think that was from exhaustion as well as realising the enormity was what I had done.

I would like to say a massive thank you to each and every person who has supported me and donated along the way, it is very much appreciated Xxx 

Let the Challenge commence!

Saturday 3rd Oct
Well last night was the first night! Two miles down, 24 to go.
It was a little difficult two miles but glad that I was able to do it.

The other miles will be done over several days in the coming weeks.

A massive thank you to everyone who has taken the time to donate so far, it's very much appreciated 💜 

Thank you to my Sponsors
