Wow! I can't believe you have all pushed it over the 5k Mark! Well done to everyone and thanks so much for the support and creative fundraising. Keep it coming!! Loads of love, Abi x
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Motivated by the loss of friends to suicide and personal encounters with depression, I have decided to cycle across the world. From Thailand to Scotland in about 6 months.
I hope to raise awareness of, and money for, a charity who work closely with suicide prevention and try to reach out to sufferers of mental illness. Please support me and follow my journey. Thank you!

SAMH say:
We all think. We all feel. But do we all help?One in four people in Scotland will experience a mental health problem, and every day in Scotland two people die by suicide. Your support can help us be there for all of them. Every year SAMH provides over a million hours of support to people who need our help. Every week, we work with around 3,000 people in over 80 services and every day we campaign for better mental health. For more information visit www.samh.org.uk.

Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
