I'm fundraising for CALM
I’m walking against suicide.
This October - when Robbie should be celebrating his 20th birthday - 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.
As well as walking 26miles for the lost hours walk I’m climbing 20 Munro’s before what would have been Robbie’s 20th birthday.
One of the last things we planned was to climb Ben Lomond together !
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.

Getting there...
Wednesday 30th Sep It’s been 12 weeks since I last spoke to Robbie; he called to tell me he’d be home late and ask me to leave the door open for him - he didn’t have keys.
8 weeks...
Wednesday 2nd Sep It’s now been 8 long weeks since my boy took his own life. 56 days of missing him. 1334 hours I’ve lived that he hasn’t. 80,640 minutes of wishing I could just have 5 more minutes with him to hug him, tell him how proud I am of him and how much I love him.
The Plan...
Thursday 13th Aug is to walk from Ratho to Airdrie - mainly following the NCR75 - in memory of Robbie and to raise money for CALM who support people who are in crisis and considering suicide.Thank you to my Sponsors
