Walking 100 Miles for Papyrus – Prevention of Young Suicide in the UK – Our Movember Challenge

This December, Adam and I are taking on a challenge that’s as much about endurance as it is about purpose. We’re walking 100 miles across the South Downs Way in just 4 days — from Winchester to Eastbourne — to raise awareness and funds for Papyrus, the UK charity dedicated to the prevention of suicide and the promotion of positive mental health and emotional well-being in young people.

But this isn’t just about the miles. It’s about starting conversations that too often stay silent. Suicide is the biggest killer of people aged 35 and under in the UK – around three-quarters are boys or young men hence why we see this challenge as crucial around Movember time. Every step we take is for young people who feel they cannot open up.

The South Downs Way is beautiful, but it’s not easy. The climbs, the long hours on our feet, and the unpredictable December weather will push us physically and mentally. But that’s part of the point — to remind ourselves that the hardest journeys are worth taking, and that no one should ever feel they have to walk their path alone.

We’re asking for your support — whether that’s through a donation, sharing our story, or simply checking in on a friend or family member who might be struggling. Every pound raised goes directly to Papyrus, funding vital programs that help young people live healthier, happier, longer lives.

Start the conversation.
