Suicide is the biggest killer of under 35s in the UK. We only learned this after our daughters took their own lives.
More Information (This is the Coast is not responsible for external websites)
We are 3 dads bereaved by the suicide of our daughters, Sophie, Emily and Beth, we were bought together by a quirk of fate; we decided to fight back, to try and create something positive from our losses and prevent other families joining the club no one wants to join.
Starting with our first walk in 2021 we have tramped over 1400 miles across the UK visiting all 4 capital cities and have raised over £1.5 million for PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide. Along our way we have met hundreds of other suicide-bereaved parents and many inspirational people who are doing their best to reduce the number of suicides in this country.
We have become accidental campaigners and spent the last three years trying to get suicide prevention added to the school curriculum, we have met civil servants, MPs, ministers and the last two Prime Ministers in our effort to save young lives. Our campaign goes on.
We will talk about our daughters, how we came together, what we have achieved so far and what we plan to do in the future.
Though beginning in tragedy and loss 3 Dads Walking is ultimately a story of friendship and hope.
