Story

James Ashcroft was 17 years old and just about to take his A levels before he took his own life.  James wanted to be a doctor, he was passionate about medical research and how it could transform lives.  He also wanted to fix everything himself - he found it hard to take advice from anyone.  Typical support help lines were not suitable for James and would not have helped him because he would not engage with them.  We felt it much better to raise money to support research on how to help people like James and perhaps prevent him getting to this point in the first place.  I think he would have been passionate about this research, so please, if you would like to, make a donation to support their work.
