On the 03/10/2022 My youngest daughter took her own life

As you can imagine this was devastating for our family

Zoey's mental health issues were apparent in 2012 when she first lived on her own when at Uni in Canterbury.

After getting her life together and self educating herself as a software engineer she settled in Reading.

She passed at the flat she loved a decade later.

My ride is from Canterbury to Reading where I shall ride 130 miles on the 1st anniversary of her death 03/10/2023

I thought it fitting to connect with the charity PAPYRUS to help in the prevention of young suicide and help raise awareness of their great work.

If anyone wishes to join me on route, feel free, I will post the route the day before the ride.

It is my wish to make this an annual event..

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.
