Story
The rumours are true, we've decided not only to do the Edinburgh Marathon, but also The Mighty Deerstalker (http://www.ratraceadventure.com/notorious/dsindex.html) and Total Warrior UK (http://www.totalwarrior.co.uk/index.php)! We're fundraising for PAPYRUS (prevention of young suicides) a charity incredibly close to both our hearts and it really would mean a great deal if you were to donate, even just a few pounds!
Jacqueline-After I lost my best friend in 2008 I decided to do something productive and raise funds for PAPYRUS, that was how I met Panda, as his band played at the first fundraiser I put on. He really wanted to get involved as he's also lost friends and family to suicide.
What PAPYRUS prevention of young suicide does:
-
Reduce Stigma associated with suicide and mental health issues
-
Increase Awareness of young suicide and how to help prevent it
-
Provide services (e.g. HOPELineUK 0800 068 41 41 / ASIST Training)
-
Campaign as a UK-wide membership organisation to prevent young suicide
-
Listen and Learn - supporting and disseminating research and knowledge
-
Contribute to local, regional and national suicide prevention strategic action
