CYCLE FOR SUICIDE 2022 - 800 MILES IN 8 DAYS.

Hi,

My name is Yasmin Geddis and 5 years ago I lost my little brother Zachary to suicide. On his 21st birthday - along with my Mum, Louise and Dad, Terry launched the Zachary Geddis Break the Silence Trust to prevent other families from suffering a loss like us.

Since 2017, ZGBTST has gained in popularity and currently assists 273 people a week through a variety of services from our 3 locations across Northern Ireland.

To raise funds for ZGBTST, my Dad has underwent 3 massive charity cycles raising awareness along the way.

In 2018 he cycled the coast - coast of Ireland.

In 2019 he cycled 120 towns in Northern Ireland stopping in each one and lighting a candle.

In 2020 he cycled Ireland again.

To date he has raised over £20,000 for ZGBTST and this year, I am cycling with him.

I had my first baby 9 months ago and have been training for this adventure since December. Over 20kg in weight down, I am hoping to double any fundraising amount that a cycle has raised before.

I have never done any sort of challenge like this and I am not a cyclist lol

I am doing this for my Brother and all of ZGBTST clients who have sat down in front of me over the past 5 years and told me their stories.

The funds will be used to open the North Coasts first mental health centre.

Thank you.
