Story
My brother Martyn Cruickshanks drove of one Monday morning in May 2018 and never returned.
Sadly Martyn took his own life, In Oban there is now a peer to peer group named website link after Martyn, Martyn's Monday Club and Martyn's Monday Club Ladies Group. This group offers a safe place for men and ladies over 18 yrs to talk and meet without being judged and are very active in suicide prevention and awareness as well as mental health well being. Martyn's son Zak who is 14 yrs old would like to help raise money so that this club can carry on raising awareness throughout Oban and Lorn by climbing Ben Nevis on the 8th of june with family and friends Zak would like to invite anyone wishing to join him, to come along .
It is okay to talk, and its okay to be not okay, and thank you for your kind and generous donation
Martyns Monday Club The reason we do what we do….. Martyn was a 37 year old from Oban. He was a son, father and brother, also a good friend to many. Martyn’s great love was cars and 4 x 4s. He worked hard and played hard. Martyn always stood up for the underdog, his biggest dislike was bullying in any shape or form and always helped anyone in difficulty from bullies. Martyn had his own troubles which he did not really speak about, he was too busy helping others, and it was these troubles which were to cost him his life. Martyn left home one Monday morning last May and went for a drive and never came home.Martyn became another suicide statistic. This is the sad story of why we do what we do. If we can get one person to speak to prevent this happening again it will be worth it. It is good to talk so please do.
