Esme's fundraising page
I'm raising money on behalf of:
Not everyone is affected by suicide but anyone can be affected by suicide. There is also a huge ripple effect.
An average of 135 people are impacted by each suicide death which means more than 800,000 people in the UK are affected by a suicide death every year.
For each suicide death, around 20 people make suicide attempts. Research suggests that most people who attempt to take their own lives do not want to die, they simply want to escape the intense mental or physical pain they are suffering. People in crisis often feel hopelessly trapped and need support through their crisis.
Take the Million Steps Challenge, feel good and do good by helping The Jordan Legacy work with those with lived experience of suicide, those already working in suicide prevention, governments, communities and workplaces to create hope through action and get the annual suicide death toll on a downward trend.
About Esme
Too many people are gone too soon, when everything becomes just too much for a multitude of reasons... At school I had 2 friends who each had a parent take their own life, and sadly there have also been more recent tragedies close to me.
I want to make a positive difference, albeit small. Every step matters. Every donation big or small.
Thanks for your support.
