Story

**,* we will now be cycling from Shrewsbury to Lands end *** 

We are cycling from the quarry in Shrewsbury to Lands end Saturday 14th May for the 4theboys organisation and raising money for Papyrus (prevention of young adult suicide)

Mental health right now is more important than ever, so any bit of money we can raise to this cause will be fantastic with your help!

Unfortunately over the years we have lost some good friends and family to suicide and we would like to raise awareness of the issue and also raise some money for a great charity.

We are cycling in the memory of four people that mean a lot to us all who are Kerr Farmer, Mike Phillips, Jack Farrington and Andy Davies.

We have also set up an organisation called 4theboys which will allow us a platform to run events throughout the year. Also each year there will be a different challenge so if you are interested in getting involved please get in touch with one of us. 

We are cycling 380 miles based over 5 fays 

If you would like to meet us there we would love to have a bit of a party when we arrive which will be the 18th May.

Suicide is the biggest killer of young people under 35 in the UK. PAPYRUS is the national charity for the prevention of young suicide and believes that many young suicides are preventable. They operate HOPELINEUK, a confidential call, text, and email helpline for young people with thoughts of suicide or those concerned about a young person who may have thoughts of suicide. Every £5 raised can help pay for a potentially life-saving contact to HOPELINEUK from a young person wanting to stay safe from their thoughts of suicide. Thank you.

Thank you for all your support
