On June 10th I am setting out cycle from Land's End to John o' Groats in 14 days at an average of 70 miles a day entirely unsupported and entirely sel-funded.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Samaritans, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Samaritans' vision is that fewer people die by suicide. Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK or Ireland dies by suicide, and every six seconds, somebody contacts Samaritans for help.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div><strong>Whatever you’re facing, a Samaritan will face it with you<br /><br /></strong>
</div>

<div>“Every 10 seconds, Samaritans responds to a call for help.<br /><br />
</div>

<div>We’re here, day or night, for anyone who’s struggling to cope, who needs someone to listen without judgement or pressure.<br /><br />
</div>

<div><strong>Samaritans is not only for the moment of crisis, we’re taking action to prevent the crisis.</strong><br /><br />
</div>

<div>We give people ways to cope and the skills to be there for others. And we encourage, promote and celebrate those moments of connection between people that can save lives.
</div>

<div>We offer listening and support to people and communities in times of need.
</div>

<div>In prisons, schools, hospitals and on the rail network, Samaritans are working with people who are going through a difficult time and training others to do the same.<br /><br />
</div>

<div><strong>Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy, and Samaritans’ vision is that fewer people die by suicide.<br /><br /></strong>
</div>

<div>That’s why we work tirelessly to reach more people and make suicide prevention a priority.”
</div>

<div><strong><br />Who we are the stats</strong>
</div>

<div>During 2021, around 22,000 people volunteered their time for Samaritans.
</div>

<div>Almost 20,000 trained listening volunteers responded to calls for help.
</div>

<div>Around 2,500 volunteers supported the running of more than 200 branches and locations across the UK and Ireland.
</div>

<div>Over 1,300 people in prison volunteered as trained Listeners.
</div>

</div>

<div>Every 10 seconds, Samaritans respond to a call for help
</div>

<div>In 2021 Samaritans volunteers spent over one million hours responding to calls for help
</div>

<div>Suicidal feelings are expressed during 1 in 5 calls for help that involve emotional support
</div>

<div>By the end of 2021, almost 80,000 people had signed up for Samaritans’ self-help app
</div>

<div>Samaritans volunteers held over 1,500 outreach events and raised awareness at events with over half a million attendees<br /><br />PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY    and consider passing the link to this page to everyone in your contacts <br /><br /><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/brian-is-cycling-for-samaritans-in-his-70th-year" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.gofundme.com/brian-is-cycling-for-samaritans-in-his-70th-year</a>
