Colin's page

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Colin and I both volunteered for North London Samaritans in 1996 and that is where we met.
After a long absence from Samaritans I returned as a listening volunteer in 2009 and Colin began acting as Treasurer until he became too ill to do it about 2 years ago.
Colin has been struggling to cope with anxiety and depression for the past 4 years and was diagnosed with Bi Polar Disorder last September. He finally ran out of the energy to keep going and took his own life on 1st February 2017.
I will miss him hugely, he was my best friend and my touchstone. I am so sad it ended like this but I am taking comfort that he is no longer suffering such terrible mental anguish.
