The topic of suicide is a tough one for most of us to talk about openly, but the irony is that staying silent is part of the problem. We need to ensure that our family & friends suffering in silence know they are not alone. We need to encourage them - especially men - to ask for help, a chat, or a coffee, anything in any environment that gives them the comfort to speak openly about how they feel. That is the first step. The other challenge is how can we help to spread that message? One way I want to help this year is by fundraising for the Cycle Against Suicide charity who do amazing work. It is a national charity (CHY 20867) focused on the suicide prevention, support for those affected by it, the promotion of mental health as a critical part of overall wellness. My limited 6 days of suffering in the saddle is all with the aim to drive greater awareness for this topic. Your support is really appreciated and please share this page using the social sharing sections. Thanks again!
