Story

I am running the Wooler trail half marathon on the 18th November to raise funds for Papyrus , Prevention of Young Suicide in memory of Lily Mae.

Almost 6 months ago , on the 19th May I tragically lost my daughter Lily Mae - my pretty princess , my little mermaid.

We are raising awareness of young persons suicide so that we can help other young people.This page has been set up in loving memory of Lily and all the donations will help other young people who suffer alone and the families of a lost loved one who decided to take their own life.

Did you know 4 young people take their own lives every day in the uk ? Can we even imagine how many young vulnerable children even think about this on a daily basis - raising awareness of this difficult subject and enabling young people to speak to someone is so important.

Papyrus offer support over the phone instantly and are there to listen and help.

Young suicide has to be prevented.

Thank You.

Suicide is the biggest killer of young people – male and female – under 35 in the UK. In 2015, 1,659 young people took their own lives. That equates to over four per day. Every year many thousands more attempt or contemplate suicide, harm themselves or suffer alone, afraid to speak openly about how they are feeling.

PAPYRUS the national charity for the prevention of young suicide.

We draw from the experience of many who have been touched personally by young suicide across the UK and speak on their behalf in our campaigns and in our endeavours to save young lives. Together we believe that with appropriate support and education, many young suicides can be prevented.

We deliver awareness and prevention training, provide confidential support and suicide intervention through HOPELineUK, campaign and influence national policy, and empower young people to lead suicide prevention activities in their own communities.
