Thanks for taking the time to visit my Red January page.

I am raising money in memory of a very dear friends’ son, Kristofer Trotman. Kris was an outgoing, funny, kind and caring person. His smile lit up the room and his laugh was infectious. Kris was known for being very outgoing, the joker of the group, but suffered with his mental health for years. Sadly, his demons eventually became too much to bear and he took his own life on 29/02/2020. He was a son, a father, a brother, a friend and so much more to so many. His absence is certainly felt by all who knew and loved him.

I am running everyday in January 2021 to raise money for the Sport In Mind. If the money I raise helps just one person suffering with mental health issues, then Kris's death would not have been in vain, and it would mean everything to him to be able to help someone suffering, just as he helped those in his life.

Did you know if you type into Google ‘Hub Of Hope’ or download the app from your Apple or Android app store, you can input your postcode and it will give you the names, addresses and contact details of the nearest mental health facilities in your local area? Too many lives are lost to suicide every hour of every day of every year!

Remember to always be kind, to check in on your loved ones and most importantly, keep talking to one another.

Rest in Peace Kristofer Trotman, It is time to make a change!
