I'm fundraising for CALM - in memory of Roy
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:
In October last year my brother Roy sadly took his own life. On the outside everything look fine and well but unfortunately no one really knew how he was truly feeling inside and like so many people he never opened up or told anyone.
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.

I hope that campaigns like this and Movember make men realise it is okay to open up and talk about their feelings. Anyone who feels down can always talk to me privately and I'll try to help.
