Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Samaritans is a unique charity dedicated to reducing feelings of isolation and disconnection that can lead to suicide.

Every six seconds a Samaritan responds to a call for help, either by phone, email, letter or face-to-face at one of our local branches. 

We’re here 24/7, before, during and after a crisis. 

I feel privileged to be part of the Samaritan organisation , volunteering at  the Yeovil branch. 

Together with other Samaritans from across the UK , I will be cycling  350 miles from Greenwich to York via Colchester, Cambridge, Kings Lynn, Lincoln and Hull.

We will be fundraising and visiting Samaritan branches on the way. 

Thank you for your contribution - emotional distress, mental ill health, loneliness and isolation can affect us all.
