Lizi, Lydia and Jayne are walking for Male Mental Health in Lincolnshire. We will be walking from Brigg Donkey Park to Broughton Park, and finishing at Central Park in Scunthorpe.

We are taking on this challenge of walking an estimated 10 miles to help fund Lincoln City Foundation's Team Talk project, which supports Lincolnshire Men with their Mental Health.

Jayne's Story

Those of you who know me well, know that our family has suffered the loss of someone to suicide. It has been over 20 years since Adrian took his own life after suffering for some time with depression. In 1998 mental health was something you kept hidden and struggled with your demons without the help and support received today. It is great that mental health is out there in the open now, and raising funds can help those who can be saved. The day we lost Adrian was the worst day of my life. Suicide ripples through families and affects all it touches. Our little walking gang are by no means fit but if it goes some way to helping those in need then we shall tread each step with determination.

 Finishing at central Park is a place where Adrian visited regularly and we do this in his name.

Raise a minimum of £100 to receive your Walk In the Park Medal! Why raise money for Lincoln City Foundation? Lincolnshire has a male mental health crisis. Over 75% of Lincolnshire Suicides are Men and 63% of those had struggled with their mental health for a long time. Funds raised go to fund the Team Talk project, setting up hubs across Lincolnshire to support men. Team talk pledges to tackle male mental health in Lincolnshire by providing dedicated wellbeing hubs, activities, advice and support for men ages 18+. We aim to have hubs throughout Lincolnshire, giving men a safe space, and peer to peer support to talk about their problems, find advice and take part in activities designed to improve their well-being.
