In May 2005, we lost James from our lives but not from our hearts. James Walsh was my cousin and I want to raise money for CALM and raise awareness about mental health for my fellow men.

James’ network of loving family and friends have helped raise lots of money to keep CALM going especially in the early days and this is testimony to the man himself.

So we are raising money to help other men suffering with mental health to give them the help they need, especially during this difficult time.

------------

The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is leading a movement against suicide, the single biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK and the cause of 18 deaths every day.

"We’ve experienced a record surge in demand for our helpline..37% uplift in daily calls in the week stricter measures were announced to be precise. And the demand continues to be unprecedented. That means, right now, we're taking a record number of calls. 

Every week thousands of people are calling us in need of help and support and we are doing everything we can to keep up with the demand. We’re needed more than ever - but we can’t do it alone. That’s why we’re taking our own advice and asking for help."
