Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

At 11pm on Friday 14^th July, myself and my son will start a 12-mile unique night-time hike which will be both physically and mentally challenging and reinforces the mental health messages of hope and that nothing is permanent, as we move out of the darkness and into the light….

Sadly more and more we hear of people not being able to move from the darkness .

In 2019  when Flynn was 15 his best friend lost his dearly loved 17 year old sister to suicide  this meant Flynn saw first hand the devastating effect it had on his friend and family, a year later I lost one of my oldest friends in the same way .

If between us we can help one person see the light by raising funds for a much needed charity please donate .

Below are just some more reasons why these charities need as much support as possible
