Becky's suicide awareness fundraiser
Becky Hill is raising money for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably)
Team: Wildlings
Story
For my dad.
125 people die by suicide in the UK every week. Thats not okay. Thats why this October, Im taking part in CALMs Lost Hours Walk, to join people across the country in smashing the silence around suicide. The money I raise will be going towards CALMs life-saving services, so they can be there for anyone struggling, no matter what.
My dad took his own life when I was 19 years old. If he had support like this, he may still be here today. It's also incredibly important for those bereaved by suicide to have support as research shows that they are more likely to attempt suicide themselves. This is why I will always be an advocate for those with mental illness and breaking the stigma around suicide. By raising awareness and money for charities such as CALM, we can hopefully help to save lives.
