Story
On October 17th 2014, our lives were changed forever with the tragic loss of Mike Thompson.
Mike will always be known for his intelligent, ambitious and light-hearted nature (with a passion for LFC!) but those closest to him have been exposed to the upsetting truths of suicide in young adults, the greatest cause of death amongst young men (15-35) in the UK.
On September 19th, 16 of us will take on The National Three Peaks Challenge to earn your donations for the James Wentworth-Stanley Memorial Fund. This is a 24 mile trek across Snowdon (Wales), Scafell Pike (England) and Ben Nevis (Scotland) with summit heights accumulating to 3407 metres - all in 24 hours.
Our chosen charity were of great comfort to Mike's family in their time of need, and they fund a number of important and closely related initiatives. The JWSMF was set up following the loss of James, another loved, bright and successful young person; which is remarkably similar and shocking. http://www.jwsmf.org/ is their site, so please take a look at how your donations will help.
Please donate what you can for our cause in Mike's name; even if it's just a few pounds. To do this, you can donate on this page (it's fully legitimate and trustworthy!) or simply Text:
'MKYT89 £5' (or your chosen amount) to 70070.
Thank you for reading and for your support!
Much love xx
