    Story

    On September 7th 2014 Daniel Jones took his life at 42 years old. Daniel was and is, a much loved son, husband, father, brother and friend. His legacy and memory lives on through all the people who knew him and all the wonderful stories that are shared about him.
    The sad loss of Daniel is now part of a wider, national picture which now sees 78% of deaths annually in men between the ages of 29-49 through suicide (13 suicides daily).
    This situation is echoed in current research by the Samaritans which shows that nationally men are 4 times more likely to take their life. In Torfaen and Blaenau Gwent this situation is no different with similar figures as the national average.
    Since October 2014, Dan's brother and his closest friends have created fundraising events including an annual golf event that celebrates Daniel's life, and is at the forefront raising awareness of mental health issues. The family continue to be overwhelmed by the generosity, unwavering support and help they receive in continuing to raise awareness of stress, anxiety, depression and suicide.
    Up to November 10th 2020, £34,785.36 has been raised in total and that has provided 433 free crisis councelling sessions and a Drop in centre in Blaenavon. In addition 20 people have received free training in Mental Health First Aid.

    On July 3rd 2021, myself and my closest friend Steve (Dozzer) will be taking on the 3peaks that our beautiful country offers. Starting at Snowdon, then on to Cadair Idris, finishing off with a steady crawl up Penyfan, hopefully around sunset.
    All donations will go to the Daniel Jones Memorial Fund, which supports Torfaen and Blaenau Gwent Mind, that provides mental health support services across communities in both counties.
    A massing thankyou in advance from us both!
    Happy hiking :)

      What is crowdfunding?

      Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

      The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

      Great people make things happen

      Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

      Create you own page and donʼt let that cause go unfunded!
