My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Many of you know that Wes took his own life recently, and it has had a big impact on me. I want to raise as much awareness as I can about the work Papyrus do, and I want to try and take away the stigma surrounding suicide and make it less of a taboo subject. If the money I raise for Papyrus can help save at least one person then it will be worth the effort.

Myself and friends are doing a 5k fun run around Roundhay Park in Leeds on September 13th. I know 5k isnt very far, but any of you that know me know that I am not a runner so it will be far enough!! I am also trying various other fundraising ideas so if anyone is interested then please get in touch with me.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Please give whatever you can to sponsor myself, Vicky, Leanne, Gemma & Francesca to help us fundraise for Papyrus. Susi is also doing the run and has her own page here www.justgiving.com/susan-barfield

Thank you,

Helen,

RIP Wes - always in my heart x x x
