Story

I lost my big brother to a tragic suicide in 2020 aged only 50. He subtly hinted he was lonely, (he was single), whilst alive, but we never knew the extent, to result in him taking his life. Loneliness in people is a suffering that can destroy. We found this out, too late. We never got to say goodbye and he died alone, which is hard to bear. I never expected to have a life without him.

He was very talented, funny and caring and not a day goes by without thinking of him. He was a local postie in the community of Wrexham for 25 years of his short life and often seen on his bike.

We just exist daily, with broken hearts since we lost him. The sorrow never leaves us . He was the glue to our family and the sunshine in it

It's the hardest and most painful thing to continue life without him. This is why this fundraiser means so much to me, with your help please, to try to help others and save loved ones.

This could be your brother, son, father or friend.

Your donation to this fundraiser will help to provide a lifeline for others and can help prevent the devastating effect suicide causes.

It would mean so much to receive a donation for this charity so someone else does not have to have this loss. Please help me reach my target. I need your help to do this. Anything you can spare will help me to do this and will be put to great use by CALM.

I have the £380 for my 10,000 feet tandem jump, through a company called Ardagh.

Brian worked there when it was known as Continental Can. Thank you so much for your amazing generosity, Ardagh.

My skydive has been rebooked for May 25th 2024, (mental health awareness month), it was March 16th 2024.

i can't thank people enough for their generosity and kindness. Just one more push will help me to reach my goal. Please be part of this amazing fundraiser.

thank you for taking the time to read this.

We exist to change this. £8 is enough to fund one potentially life-saving call. £24 could provide families with suicide support materials.
