Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm trying to raise funds for Dont Lose Hope, but mainly to raise awareness for men's mental health. Get guys talking.

Ed went to sleep in July 2018 for the last time. Unfortunately due to an undiagnosed heart disease, he didn't wake up. I want to "bring him home".

Sounds a little odd maybe, but I'm going to try and start at Ed's old flat in Warrington and walk a teddy back to the Don't Lose Hope community garden and shed Bourne via a few places which meant something to him including his sanctuary at "Brister HQ" in Grantham.

The aim is to walk the route as quickly as possible, and I am planning on taking no more that 54 hours to cover the 150+ miles. I will have Dad along as my safety vehicle throughout this entire event, driving the van very kindly provided by Chiltern Chilled Distribution Ltd

Every £20 I can raise will cover a counselling session and support someone in need.
