Story
Hi my name is Ben Mckenna & heres abit about why i have chosen to raise money for my chosen charity https://www.gamblingwithlives.org/ .....
Gambling with lives was set up by families & friends bereaved by gambling related suicide. The young men who took their own life were all bright, popular & happy... gambling was their only problem.
Gambling with lives aims to:
* support families who have been bereaved by gambling related suicide.
* raise awareness of the dangerous effects of gambling on mental health and high suicide risk.
Having been bet free since 5th september 2018 i wanted to turn my bad experiences with gambling into a positive one by raising money to help the charity. At the end of july i will be completeing the yorkshire 3 peaks & walking home to burnley which is a total distance of around 80 km & ill be giving myself 24 hours to complete It. Any donations would mean the world in supporting me.
