Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

'Out of the Darkness' has been arranged by Catherine Pinnock in memory of her beautiful sister Frances Warren (far right in the profile pic). It's a 12 mile journey through the night, where a courageous community of men and women will break the silence and bring the issues of depression and suicide into the light.

The route will take us on a circular route from Thornbury through the villages of Oldbury and Tockington and back.  

The walk will begin by lighting a candle at Christ the King church to remember and say a prayer for Frances. A suicide attempt happens every minute of every day. These statistics are staggering and yet remain hidden and not discussed. The walk is to bring the issues of suicide, depression, and mental disorders into the spotlight. This is the road to a future where no one has to suffer in silence. Frances is just one face of suicide. Frances is not a statistic she was a daughter, a sister, an aunty, a granddaughter, a niece, a best friend & she was loved my so many.
