Having suffered with mental health issues myself since a teen, I GET IT. I know how common suicidal thoughts can be, and I understand how low you can go.

I’m doing this walk for anyone who has been affected by severe mental health problems and suicide. The knock on effect is so big, and can ripple out further than you can ever realise.

This summer, we lost Jake to suicide. A shining light to a lot of people, who also was a big advocate for men’s mental health. Jake was our housemate, Jonathan’s (my partner) best friend, uncle to our cats and our future best man.

I absolutely hate exercise and being active, the total opposite to Jake, but a light up walk is something I can totally get involved in, raising money and awareness for such an important cause close to all our hearts.

Please donate anything you can. I’d appreciate anything,big and small. Mental health matters.
