Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The attached photos show how we used to look......

Our family no longer looks like this. 

Tragically, Stephen took his life on 29th April 2017. The rest of us carry an overwhelming loss and a deep, deep sadness in our hearts. He was dearly loved and is sorely missed.

We will remember Stephen as a strong and energetic achiever with an avid curiosity and zest for life.....
Although he will not be with us as we journey on in our lives, he will be ever-present in our hearts, where we can keep him safe....

Only time will heal us but having an understanding of mental health problems helps us to make some sort of sense of what we, as a family, have witnessed over these past five years or so. 

I am launching this page on 10th November 2017 - Stephen would have been 50 years of age today.

Stephen had suffered with poor mental health for some time. We can’t bring him back. We can’t change what has happened. But we can help to raise the awareness of mental health issues.

On 22nd April 2018, I will participate in the London Marathon to raise money for Mind. I will be taking part with my good friend Claire who, over the past two years, has become the sister that I never had. This is a family effort....Olivia, Christian, George and Evita are all part of this challenge. This is not just for Stephen-it is for everyone affected by the demons of poor mental health as well as their families, friends, work colleagues and associates.

Please donate what you can to this cause and pass this page onto your friends and family so that we can all play a part in supporting those affected by mental health issues. Like so many other diseases, poor mental health is indiscriminate in nature and can be a killer.....
