I'm doing this walk because I have recently come to know several people who have lost someone they love who has taken their own life. It can be hard to talk to someone close and sometimes easier to speak to a stranger who has volunteered to listen to those at their wits end. Samaritans need money to train volunteers.

So I walk in memory of Fritz, Dave, Kreaen, Taliyah, Henry, Jude, Hugh, Mitch and Felipe

I’m taking on the Samaritans Walk 50 miles with your dog in November challenge to help make sure there’s someone there for anyone who needs someone. Whether you donate £5 or £500, your donation means a lot to me and could answer the call for help that saves someone’s life. I've included more information about Samaritans and their lifesaving work below.

Thank you💚

Every ten seconds, Samaritans answer a call for help. We’re here, day or night, for anyone who’s struggling to cope, who needs someone to listen without judgement or pressure. Samaritans is not only for the moment of crisis, we’re taking action to prevent the crisis. We give people ways to cope and the skills to be there for others.

Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy, and Samaritans’ vision is that fewer people die by suicide. That’s why we work tirelessly to reach more people and make suicide prevention a priority.
