Thanks for taking the time to visit this JustGiving page.
We are a group of people (supported by friends and family) whom sadly have in common a bereavement by suicide. We meet monthly at a Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide (SOBS) support group.
We are going to do a long walk together! Some of us are walking 15km and others 7km. This is an organised walk in collaboration with Help for Heroes.

We have three main objectives to meet by completing this challenge:
1) to raise awareness of suicide. In 2014 there were 6122 recorded suicides in the UK - that's a shocking 117 per week. We all need to better understand about suicide to help in the achievement of better interventions and to remove the sad and contributory stigma that exists today.
2) to raise funds for charity. This national charity raises awareness of suicide and supports people in overcoming the devastating impact of suicide.
3) to help to make a positive out of a negative in memory of the people that should be here to walk with us.
Myself, Paula, Rupert, Eric and Julie are walking with: Allan, Kevin, Jenny, Adelle, Gary, Dawn, Liz, Rachel, Shelley, Laura and Ian.
