Story
On 2nd November, Ashley Spencer, owner of The White Gate Mirfield, will take on an incredible 575-mile challenge over 7 days — cycling, kayaking and running from Berwick-upon-Tweed back home to Mirfield.
He’s doing this for TCD.
Why 575 miles?
Because 575 lives were lost to suicide in Yorkshire in 2024.
Suicide is:
• 1 death every 75 minutes
• The leading cause of death in under 35s
• The leading cause of death in men and boys under 50
• A rising cause of death in young women
• 5 young people every day
• Around 200 teenagers every year
These are more than statistics — they are lives lost too soon.
Please support Ashley’s challenge and help us continue delivering vital mental health and suicide prevention support in our community.
Every donation matters. 💛
