In Memory of SHAUN BLACK - Our Cycling Challenge

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Anyone that knew Shaun well will appreciate how much cycling meant to him. He loved nothing better than getting out on his bike to escape from reality and to feel free from any cares in the world. Because of Shaun's love for the Northumberland Countryside he is eventually at peace in the beautiful village of Warkworth. For years we would watch Shaun cycle to Warkworth and back whilst we drove in the car. We always talked about joining him and cycling up to Warkworth but unfortunately this never took place before Shaun passed away.
With this in mind we have decided to raise awareness and funds to support people who suffer in silence from mental health. We believe that anyone with mental health problems should have somewhere to turn, to get the support they need and the respect they deserve. Sadly it's too late for Shaun. After years of fighting depression, feeling worthless and wrongly believing his family would be better off without him: he took drastic measures ending his life on 29th April 2015.
