Coast to Coast Walk · 29 August 2024

The Rose Paterson Trust is named after Rose Paterson, a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother (amongst many other things). Rose could not have been kinder or a greater force for good. She took her own life in June 2020 and we want to help people like Rose and families like Rose's however we can.

Story

I discovered The Rose Paterson Trust in 2021, and, as is often the case with social media, the easy route is to simply press the like or donation button. However due to the tragic circumstances surrounding this charity, I felt it deserved much more. That's why I've committed to the Coast to Coast (C2C) Walk-covering 192 miles in 17 days. In 2023, I faced my own battle with anxiety and depression. Such a diagnosis triggers a cathartic process, where everything pours out in no particular order, making little sense. My journey has been about navigating the unexpected, and believe me it was all very unexpected. Suppressing the emotions is not the way forward. Despite the temptation to embrace the "British stiff upper lip," a seemingly positive attitude, in certain cases, it can lead to catastrophic outcomes. I urge you to show your support by contributing to The Rose Paterson Trust on the JustGiving page. Your donation will make a meaningful impact on those facing similar challenges.
