The Beder Challenge looks to open up the conversation around suicide prevention as, sadly, 5,197 people took their own life across the UK and Wales in 2020.This is less than in 2019 which is encouraging but we still need to keep working hard to open up the conversation, overcome the stigma and reduce this statistic! 

Beder is a charity taking a unique approach to softly raising awareness around these important issues and you can find more information here: www.beder.org.uk

Every week in November I'll be completing a series of challenges to raise money for Beder, this year I'll be running 5.197km, cycling 51.97km, rowing 5.197km and weightlifting 5197kg. 

This will be physically draining and mentally exhausting but this is nothing in comparison to the anguish so many go through too often, I hope this creates more awareness and more feel encouraged to come forward so they can be supported !

Thank you in advance x
