Story

I’m taking on 100 miles in June for Mind in memory of my dad.

Last Friday (24th April), a week today, my dad attempted to take his own life. It was exactly three years to the day from a previous attempt. He was resuscitated, and then suffered another cardiac arrest, where he had to be brought back again. He spent the following days in critical care on life support. On Tuesday 28th April, we were told nothing more could be done. Shortly after life support was removed, he passed away.

I’m doing these 100 miles in his memory.

Right now, Mind’s phone lines are the busiest they’ve ever been. In the UK, 1 in 4 of us will face a mental health problem each year, yet too many people still suffer in silence. For many, Mind is a lifeline — offering support on the phone, in communities, and fighting for change so no one is left behind.

Every mile I walk is for my dad, and for anyone who feels like they’ve run out of options.

If you can, please support me by donating to my page. Your contribution will help ensure that vital support and information remains available for those who need it most — through Mind’s website, helplines, and online community.

Thank you 💙
