Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The 23rd February 2021 marks the first year without my older brother, Dan who we lost to suicide. For his 27th  birthday, I will complete the February 100km challenge for an amazing charity called Sunflowers.

Sunflowers has been so supportive during this last year, and I want other families to benefit from their amazing work too. Abbie and the team are always there to listen to me and I will never be able to fully explain how grateful I am to them for supporting me through the darkest times of my life.

Thank you to Abbie and everyone at Sunflowers🌻

About the charity

Sunflowers was created in memory of Pete Morris who died by suicide in 2016. His family developed the Charity to walk alongside others bereaved by suicide and to be a small ray of light in the darkness; offering others comfort and support that is so desperately needed at such a difficult time. Sunflowers endeavour to provide other families with practical and professional support so they do not feel overwhelmed and alone. This we hope will give a glimmer of hope for the future. Sunflowers also raise awareness around mental health and suicide both on social media and by networking locally and nationally. We deliver accredited training to the wider community and presentations sharing our story. We highlight that it is Okay to not be ‘Okay’ and the importance of talking and of course listening. We feel that everyone can play a small part in connecting with and helping others to feel less alone.
