Simon Factor fundraising for Cycle Against Suicide in N2- End to End Portugal Challenge 2026
2025 was a sad year. Within one short summer, I lost one of my closest friends and the daughter of my best man to suicide. Two beautiful souls. This is a reality that had never come so close to home, and to be honest, I am still in shock. While I cannot change the past, I am determined to do something that might change the future for someone else. This May, I am joining 100 others to cycle 800km from the North to the South of Portugal. This journey, "Cycle Against Suicide," aims to raise over €250,000 for a charity providing vital support to those battling depression. As someone who has only cycled recreationally for a year or two, 800km over mountains in just five days will be an immense challenge. However, cycling gives me the space and time to think. As I pedal, I will be remembering the good times shared with my friend, and thinking about how to support my best man as he faces the unimaginable. Your support means the world to me - and more importantly, to the people this charity helps every day. Thank you - Simon P.S. If you’re able to help spread the word, I’d be incredibly grateful.
