In January 2014, my father took his own life after a battle with depression. 1 in 4 people suffer some form of mental illness in their lifetime.
My father was a great Dad and a well respected GP, he was a huge influence in my life. He is greatly missed by his wife, children, grand children, family and friends.
Every year in the UK, around 6000 people commit suicide leaving devastation behind.
Rethink support almost 60,000 people every year across England to get through crises, to live independently and to realise they are not alone. They change attitudes and policy for millions. They also raise awareness to help eradicate the stigma that is attached to mental illness.
I have no target in mind as I have a ballot place but anything you give is much appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
