Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am fundraising to support Papyrus - a charity which works to prevent young suicide. Suicide is the biggest killer of young people in the UK - four times the number who are killed in road traffic accidents.

To do this I am organising a Hopewalk again this year on Victoria Park, Leicester. It's on Saturday 14th October at 2.30pm - meet at the War Memorial and walk as many one mile circuits as you want. You can be sponsored, make a donation or just walk to raise awareness and honour Stephen's memory. Wear purple!!

We lost our amazing and beloved son Stephen in January 2016 - he was just 21. It came pretty much out of the blue and has been absolutely devastating and heartbreaking for us as a family. I never imagined this was something which could happen to us. We need more awareness - it is something which is not talked about and we had no idea about the risks or how to help. Papyrus is working hard to change this.

Thank you so much for your support.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
