13th December 2014. My cousin Chrissy took his own life. 

No words can even begin to describe this pain, the amount of questions of why and what if. Why did he do it? What if I could of saved him?

Chrissy is more like a brother to me, always has been. Losing someone this way is a different kind of loss. Every loss is painful, but when someone you love ends their own life because they couldn’t see the light anymore is a pain I will never be able to describe. 

Nearly 6 years later and it still feels raw. Mental Health is so important and I can’t stress that enough. People are struggling and people are ending their own lives and it’s happening around us, we can help them and end the stigma.

Any amount of money really does go a long way in research to help those struggling.
