I’m raising money in honour of a close friend who I considered as a brother to me, Will Debreatún, or as others knew him, Snatch (on the right in the photo). I met Will in my first year of university in 2018 and he was someone that would never fail to have a smile on his face and to always want to entertain others around him and protect those closest to him as best as he could.

This won’t bring him back, nor ever answer all of the questions and conversations his friends never got to ask him, however hopefully the money raised from this will help prevent this pain and loss from ever occurring to any other family, and additionally help any individual who feels they have no other option and that there is no way out.

Suicide is the single biggest killer of men aged under 45 in the UK. In 2015, 75% of all UK suicides were male. It' a shocking statistic, but it doesn't have to be that way. Few people go through life without, at some point, having a suicidal thought or feeling. While suicidal feelings are more common than we like to admit, it doesn't mean that it' the answer for you. There are always other options. What makes people suicidal? There's never one reason, but usually a combination of things:

A major loss, trauma or setback in your life can make you feel life isn't worth living, for example. If you've lost a person or a relationship that meant everything to you, or you lose your job or encounter financial difficulties, all of which are problems that can be tackled and resolved with your support. We can provide much-needed counselling and support to men that are struggling to cope.

Most suicidal people don't actually want to die, they just want to remove themselves from an unbearable sit

in loving memory:

Will Debreatún May 1st 1997 - March 17th 2022
