I'm joining the fight for mental health with Mind in Furness to help raise awareness and funds to keep vital mental health services open in our community.

When I was two years old, my dad lost his life to suicide. My dad struggled with mental illness for a long time, and I have missed out on having my dad in my life, and no kid should have to experience this. It has had a huge impact on me.

Mind in Furness supported my dad as much as they could and were a huge help to him during his life. They were the only people to have given my dad the time and respect he deserved.

This is why i'm raising funds for Mind in Furness, to ensure they have the ability to carry on reaching people like my dad. I want others who have others who have a loved on going through something similar to have the support they need.

Please give generously, it will mean so much to me and my family.

Doing this for you, Dad.
