In April 2023, I lost my friend and colleague Marina to suicide. Marina was such a happy and positive person to work with, losing her was a shock to us all. If she had just reached out for some support to one of her many friends or PAPYRUS she could still be here today.

On Saturday 19 October I will be taking part in our HOPEWALK on Peddars Way Norfolk with a group of work colleagues and friends. We have a route from Holme-next-the-sea to Great Massingham taking us approximately 17 miles along the Peddars Way. Our goal is to raise as much funds and awareness for PAPYRUS as possible.

PAPYRUS is the national Charity for the Prevention of Young Suicide. PAPYRUS provides confidential support and advice to young people struggling with thoughts of suicide, and anyone worried about a young person through their helpline, HOPELINE247.

If you can support my walk in anyway I would be very grateful.
