Story
At the end of July, I will be walking 100km (66 miles) in two days from the North Coast of Somerset, to the South Coast of Devon to raise funds for The Sam West Foundation.
Sam was 14 when he was diagnosed with clinical depression, and tragically took his own life at the age of just 15. I knew Sam when he was a toddler, and he was a classmate of my daughter, and his death had a deep and long lasting effect on all of those who knew him. His parents set up the Foundation in memory of Sam to help other children, young adults, and their families affected by mental health issues.
Accompanying me on the walk will be my Daughter Daisy, so please also check out her JustGiving page at
Daisy Faulkner Smith is fundraising for Epilepsy Action (justgiving.com)
Thanks so much - any and every donation is so gratefully received.
