Event: Lost Hours Walk, from 26 October 2019 to 27 October 2019
In memory of Alex R
When it hurts we talk. When the clocks go back we walk. 11pm, Sat 26 October: Time to unite against suicide. As time goes backwards, we're walking forwards to campaign against feeling shit, against struggling in silence, against living miserably.

Story

On the 26th October, we will be walking 20 miles in CALM's first event, The Lost Hours walk, to honour our funny, intelligent, kind cousin, Alex, who took his own life this year.  

We are aiming to raise £500 for our walk and would very much appreciate any contribution you can make.  We will be walking from Greenwich to Big Ben and back again to make change happen and raise money for CALM who support people that feel there is no where to go and to help families, friends and colleagues deal with the loss and grief of suicide.   

'16 people take their own life every day, leaving  behind thousands of friends, family and colleagues.  On the one day we are given extra time, we walk for all those for whom there wasn't enough.' 

For this walk, we have been kindly sponsored and supported by Finders International.
