The estimated number of people directly bereaved by suicide each year is around 34,000 and growing.

Suicide is the biggest cause of death in men under 45. That is a lot of grieving friends, relatives, children...

Sadly I lost my Dad to suicide on the 19th December 2004, and this year marks the 20 year anniversary, so i thought it would be good to do something positive to remember him by, as well as giving back to a well needed cause

I'm walking 34k on 10th September 2024 for Suicide&Co, with a fundraising target of £1000 so that together we can raise £34,000 to help Suicide&Co to continue to achieve their mission of supporting individuals bereaved by suicide, and provide people with counselling sessions through Suicide&Co's Counselling Service.

This kind of counselling can be incredibly helpful. I know from personal experience. £1000 will pay for three grieving people to get a free series of counselling sessions.

It took me a long time (10+ years) to come to terms with what I'd been through and the impact on my life, When I was ready to talk I found the counselling sessions to be invaluable as it gave me that perspective I was needing, however this type of resource is more challenging than you would think to come by
