My daughter Charlotte died by suicide on 27th March 2024. I feel her loss every single day. Struggling with the why and with the painful grief of her death, I found that there is limited access for help for people in my position. I found Suicide & Co who helped me with access to free counselling and literature. It was a start to the process of trying to understand the why, and the struggle with the painful grief. I still have a long way to go but I am taking life day by day, living with my grief and building my life around it.

I am competing this 36k challenge in memory of my daughter and to support this invaluable charity so they can reach out and help those 36k people who are very sadly bereaved by suicide every single year.

Suicide&Co is a national charity that supports those bereaved by suicide and seeks to open up the conversation around suicide-related grief. Our vision is to provide adults bereaved by suicide in England and Wales with timely and effective support because everyone deserves to feel like they have permission to grieve. Suicide&Co provides 12 sessions of one-to-one bereavement counselling to those who've lost a loved one to suicide. Every donation of £30 will help provide a counselling session.

Thanks to your support, we can provide a much-needed listening ear and support to those who are struggling with their loss. We help people to heal and build a life back up around their grief, enabling them to look forward with hope.
