Story
The estimated number of people directly bereaved by suicide each year is around 34,000.
Stella and I are taking on the 34k Challenge, walking 34km on Sunday 10th September (approx 9 hours, although maybe less at Stella's route march pace) for Suicide&Co. Our fundraising target is £1000, to contribute to a total target of £34,000 to help Suicide&Co to continue to achieve their mission of supporting individuals bereaved by suicide.
I lost my mum to suicide in November 2022 after the death of my dad from pancreatic cancer in September. She felt there was no option and I feel very strongly that there should be no stigma around the way in which she died. But I do want to ensure that all those suffering with their mental health and all those impacted by the suicide of loved ones are able to get the support they need to enjoy life again.
We would be really grateful if you can give what you can to help us,
Lottie and Stella xx
