Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
In October 2025 I will be taking part in the Baton of Hope tour as it visits Wrexham.
The Baton of Hope tour is a large-scale, nationwide suicide prevention initiative in the UK. The tour, which began its second iteration in 2025, aims to raise awareness about suicide, reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, and promote open conversations.
The Baton of Hope was founded by Mike McCarthy and Steve Phillip after they both lost their sons to suicide. They are committed to creating a society where no one has to suffer in silence and help is readily available. The tour serves as a powerful call to action, encouraging everyone to talk openly about mental health, recognize the signs of struggle in others, and listen without judgment.
Any donation goes directly to Baton of Hope to continue their vitally important work.
