Story
On 22nd June 2022 my beautiful mum, Louise, sadly passed away to suicide. Mum was an absolutely amazing woman who loved each and every one of her friends and family members with a ferocity that we marvelled at daily. She was an extremely caring individual who knew the struggles of mental health herself through first hand experiences, if she thought any of her loved ones were struggling mentally then she was there to help immediately.
I want to raise awareness and help end the stigma around suicide, this can be done by raising money for an amazing charity like CALM.
Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is leading a movement against suicide. Every week 125 people in the UK take their own lives. And 75% of all UK suicides are male. CALM exists to change this by offering life saving services, provoking conversation and bringing people together to reject living miserably. From advice on our site, through to free, confidential chats with our helpline staff, online or on the phone, we’re here for whoever needs us, every day. No matter what. £8 is enough to fund one potentially life-saving call.
