34k Challenge 2023
Campaign by Suicide&Co (RCN 1187985)
The estimated number of people directly bereaved by suicide each year is around 34,000. Were looking for 34 people to take on the 34K Challenge; 34km on September 10th, each with a fundraising target of £1000, so that together we can raise £34,000!

Story

Around 34,000 people a year are bereaved by suicide in the UK. It's a huge, and growing club that no one choses to join, but we did when we lost our beautiful son, Ivan, on 1 May last year.

I'm taking on the 34k Challenge for Suicide&Co, with a personal target of £1,000, to contribute to a £34,000 group target needed for Suicide&Co to continue to support those bereaved by suicide, providing much needed counselling in navigating loss, and finding ways to heal and reconnect with life one day at a time.
