Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Bumpy was a great friend from as far back as university. He was a rare talent, a gentleman and a joy to be around. We had so many laughs over the years - he was always full of beans and to be in his company was brilliant. If you are reading this, you'll know exactly what I mean.

Sadly, what I experienced seeing him during the last 18 months of his life was shocking and it brought home to me how cruel mental illness can be.

I want to remember Bumpy, remember all the good times and raise some money for his worthy charity. I'm sure you do too.

I'm therefore organising a day to remember Bumpy on 12 May here in Edinburgh. If you'd like to know more about it or you'd like to come along, please get in touch.

In the meantime, I hope you can help support SANE, which is a charity set up specifically to enhance people's understanding and awareness of stress-induced mental illness in working people as well as to provide practical support for sufferers.
