Story

Hi everyone!

As most of Jamie’s friends and family already know we’re planning on doing a sponsored walk to raise money for PAPYRUS, a suicide prevention charity for people under 35.

In September 2023 we lost our Jamie through suicide. If you met Jamie, you would know that to know him was to love him. He was the most bubbly, outgoing, generous man you would meet. He’d have talked to a brick wall if it could talk back and could bargain with any man for a lower price on a car, bike, jet ski you name it.

However, Jamie struggled with his mental health tremendously. Our aim is to raise awareness on the effects of suicide on the family and friends and show those with suicidal thoughts that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel🩵

PAPYRUS is the national Charity for the Prevention of Young Suicide.

Suicide is the biggest killer of young people under the age of 35 in the UK, every year over 1800 young people took their own lives. PAPYRUS provides confidential support and advice to young people struggling with thoughts of suicide, and anyone worried about a young person through their helpline, HOPELINE247.

Every £5 raised can contribute towards a life-saving contact to HOPELINE247. Your donations really are lifesaving, thank you.
