Hello, I’m raising money for PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide, a UK charity dedicated to preventing suicide in young people under 35. PAPYRUS runs HOPELINE247, a free, confidential support service available 24/7 for young people who are struggling, as well as for anyone worried about someone at risk. They also provide education, awareness, and training to help people recognise the signs of crisis and speak up before it’s too late.

The money raised will help PAPYRUS continue their vital work — keeping helplines open, supporting young people in moments of crisis, and promoting suicide prevention and mental health awareness across the UK.

This year, I’m also taking a personal step forward. I’m choosing to regain control, confront my fears, and push myself outside my comfort zone — not just for myself, but to help raise money and awareness for this cause.

This fundraiser is about showing that we as humans are strong enough to fight back, strong enough to speak out, and strong enough to support one another. No one should feel alone, and with the right support, help is always possible.
