On Monday, roughly a fifth of our team took on 36km together for Suicide&Co.
Every year, 36,000 people in the UK face losing someone to su***de. Our 36km stood for every single one of them - one metre for each newly bereaved person.
We took it on in different ways. Some walked the full distance, Josh ran it, Harold cycled it, and the rest of us split it in teams, each covering a stretch so every group completed the full 36km. 20 of us, one shared mission.
At some point, most of us will know someone who needs Suicide&Co's help. 36,000 people a year is a staggering reminder of how many lives su***de loss touches.
We've raised £9,746 so far, putting us just £254 away from £10,000. Thanks to everyone who's supported us, that will already fund over 320 specialist counselling sessions for people navigating this grief.
As the only UK national charity dedicated to su***de bereavement, Suicide&Co offers free specialist counselling, an early bereavement service, a helpline, and an app with personalised resources. They ensure support is there from day one, free of charge.
If you can help us close that final gap, we'd be so grateful: https://www.justgiving.com/team/factotum
Thank you so much to everyone who's backed us.
