On the 15th September my darling Wife Sam passed away.  Sam battled with mental illness for over 20 years but in the last three the illness really took hold and eventually she lost her battle.  As a family this has left so many heartbroken, I have lost my life long partner and my Daughter and Granddaughters a beautiful Mum and Nanny.  I want to raise awareness for mental health and so as a way of dealing with this shattering time I want to give back and help families that are going through the same thing.

I will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro next October and reaching the summit on World Mental Health Day.  Please help me raise some money for the Mental Health Foundation however small it all counts.  No one should ever have to face a suicide in their family.  Thankyou all
