Support suicide prevention and ensure Piper’s future for Daz

Donation protected
Last October our brother Darren Edwards tragically lost his battle with mental health and took his own life. His passing has shattered our world and left a hole in our hearts that will never heal.

Over 700,000 people die from suicide every year, nearly twice the number of homicide deaths. 75% of deaths by suicide are men.

To raise awareness about this silent epidemic, Daz’s brothers and closest friends are attempting the SAS Fan Dance march on September 13th.

The Fan Dance is a gruelling 24km test of endurance over Pen y Fan, the highest peak in the Brecon Beacons and is used as part of the UK Special Forces selection process.

50% of the funds raised will be donated to CALM, a charity in the UK focused on preventing suicide and reducing the stigma surrounding mental health. 

Daz’s memory lives on through his daughter Piper, who lives in America with his wife Morgan. To ensure she has the best education possible and is set up to succeed in life, the remaining 50% will go towards her school tuition fees.

Daycare in the U.S. is incredibly expensive, and even the smallest donation can help Piper receive the learning and development she needs, while equally supporting a charity dedicated to ensuring that no one feels like suicide is their only option.

Thank you.
