My story

I am walking at sunrise on Sunday 13th October with my friend Michael Pitcher and cousin Claire Marris. We will be walking around Star Fen, near Heckington to raise awareness of the work of the Samaritans. I am walking in memory of my sister Sarah who died on 17th November 2021 and in solidarity with others who have lost friends or family to suicide. We will be very happy if you want to make a donation to the Samaritans’ important work, but also just want to raise awareness and compassion for all those among us for whom life at times feels unbearable.
Thank you for reading this and the message from the Samaritans below, and for donating if you can.

This year the Samaritans’ Dawn Walk is being held as a celebration of World Mental Health Day, in solidarity with those struggling to cope. Every ten seconds, Samaritans answer a call for help. We’re here, day or night, for anyone who’s struggling to cope, who needs someone to listen without judgement or pressure. Samaritans is not only for the moment of crisis, we’re taking action to prevent the crisis. We give people ways to cope and the skills to be there for others. Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy, and Samaritans’ vision is that fewer people die by suicide. That’s why we work tirelessly to reach more people and make suicide prevention a priority.
