Story

On 9th November 2024, I shall be heading to Cambodia to trek through the jungle and spend a few nights camping on the way with several of my trekking buddies. We will be heading into the ancient temple of Angkor Wat and I will be raising funds for the Gloucestershire charity, Sunflowers Suicide Support 🌻.

Sunflowers Suicide Support is the www.GlosJobs.co.uk and www.glos.info Charity of the Year 2024 and we are proud to be fundraising for them. The first payment we have was £11,200 raised in the #SwimForSunflowers and #QuizForSunflowers.

Having personally been affected by suicide in my family at a young age, I could have done with the help of a charity such as Sunflowers, which is why I have chosen them for this fundraiser.

I am paying for the Cambodian trek myself, so that every single penny raised will go direct to Sunflowers Suicide Support.

I shall also be running other fundraising initiatives throughout 2024 in the run up to the trek.

About the charity

Sunflowers was created in memory of Pete Morris who died by suicide in 2016. His family developed the Charity to walk alongside others bereaved by suicide and to be a small ray of light in the darkness; offering others comfort and support that is so desperately needed at such a difficult time. Sunflowers endeavour to provide other families with practical and professional support so they do not feel overwhelmed and alone. This we hope will give a glimmer of hope for the future. Sunflowers also raise awareness around mental health and suicide both on social media and by networking locally and nationally. We deliver accredited training to the wider community and presentations sharing our story. We highlight that it is Okay to not be ‘Okay’ and the importance of talking and of course listening. We feel that everyone can play a small part in connecting with and helping others to feel less alone.
