In 2016 we lost a beloved doctor, mother, sister and friend, Dr Liz Sizer to suicide. Sadly, this is not uncommon - with healthcare professionals recorded as having higher rates of mental health illness when compared to the general population. It's estimated that every 3 weeks a doctor takes their own life in the UK and even more alarming it's reported a nurse takes their life every week.

That's why You Okay, Doc? (YOD) exists - to reduce the stigma associated with mental health in the healthcare population and to reduce the rates of healthcare related suicides. Healthcare workers with the correct support recover and continue to provide the much needed care to our loved ones.

Join us in raising funds for this much needed cause that supports those that help us - whether thats a walk, cycling, bake sale or a hike of your own!

One way a group is fundraising is by taking on the 3 peak challenge... here's the brief - the 3 peak challenge will take place from the 14th-16th July 2023. The team comprising of YOD ambassadors, doctors, friends and family will travel from cambridge to Scotland in preparation to climb Ben Nevis early Saturday morning, we'll then drive down to Scafell Pike and overnight to Snowden in Wales where we complete the final climb! This is a true measure of stamina, little sleep and mountaineering!

Whatever the activity, come and join us we would love to hear from you!
