Story

Michael Towers 01.02.91-19.05.14

In May 2014 our world was torn apart by the sudden death of our youngest son Michael aged 23 yrs. If we had known about PAPYRUS, we could have contacted them and been able to get some help for our son.

On the 10th July, I’m going to skydive (tandem) 2 miles up at Cockerham. I went one step further an skydived from 15,000 feet (3 miles in the sky).Please support me once again to raise funds for Papyrus in remembrance of a loving son; brother; grandson; nephew; cousin; friend and work colleague and help to raise awareness for the prevention of suicide. Lets #smashthe stigma and Lets get talking.

Thanks to your generosity in remembrance of Michael, we have raised over £2,500 for Papyrus including the  Hopewalk 2015 and birthday fundraisers for Michael & me.

Stacey (Dave’s girlfriend) ran 30 miles on the 22nd May for Papyrus on the seventh anniversary. Well done!! - She also has a fundraiser page which now stands at over £1,200.
