13th July 2024 would be James' 45th birthday. We will be trekking 45 miles, NON STOP, from Whitehaven Harbour to Cumbria Police Federation HQ penrith.

On the 19th August 2023 James lost his battle to Mental Health. James was a Police Officer but more importantly, he was a father, husband, uncle, cousin, brother, son and friend. Brave doesn't come close to how incredible James was and it's our mission to spread awareness of Mental Health and the impact Suicide has on everyone.

We all hear "It's OK to not be OK" whilst this is true, over 70% of suicides are male, there is more to this. We must normalise conversations around Mental Health and not hide behind the male bravado.

Every Life Matters have been a solid foundation to a shattered home, without their work, situations like this would exceed the figures they currently reflect. We cannot thank them enough for the support they have provided.

We are aiming to raise funds and awareness.

That's enough from us, one last thing, are you ok? It's normal to not be, reach out, talk, cry, scream and shout. There is no such thing as "Normal" we are all unique so own it.

As James would say, Love you, Bye.
