On 6 June 2014 Clare, Zoe, Jo, Hazel and Carmel will be taking part in Trekfest 2014, a gruelling 24 hour challenge to trek 54 miles of the Brecken Beacons.

 Zoe and Clare will be raising money for Papyrus in memory of Rosie Whitaker who sadly took her own life aged 15.

 PAPYRUS was founded in 1997 by Jean Kerr, a mother from Lancashire. She and a small group of parents who had each lost a child to suicide were convinced that that many young suicides are preventable.

Papyrus aim to:

• Reduce Stigma associated with suicide 
• Increase Awareness of young suicide and how to help prevent it; this involves speaking in schools, colleges and community organisations
• Provide services (e.g. HOPELineUK; SMS and email advice; Training such as ASIST; online information; professional advice)
• Campaign as a UK charity to prevent young suicide
• Listen and Learn - supporting/disseminating research/knowledge 
• Contribute to local, regional and national suicide prevention strategic action

All of you donations will be greatly appreciated and help us make a difference!

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Zoe and Clare
