Story

I hiked from the lowlands to the highlands of Scotland, a distance of 97 miles in 5 and a half days to raise money for PAPYRUS, the national Charity for the Prevention of Young Suicide.

Called the West Highland Way, I completed the expedition at the beginning of June.

Suicide is the biggest killer of young people under the age of 35 in the UK, in 2018 over 1800 young people took their own lives. PAPYRUS provides confidential support and advice to young people struggling with thoughts of suicide, and anyone worried about a young person through their helpline, HOPELINEUK.

Every £5 raised can help pay for a life-saving contact to HOPELINEUK. Your donations really are lifesaving, thank you!
