In this illuminating, thought-provoking and deeply personal episode we are joined by Andy Airey, Tim Owen and Mike Palmer - also known as '3 Dads Walking'.
Andy, Tim and Mike are connected in a way that they never would have wished to be. After tragically losing their daughters Sophie, Beth and Emily to suicide, the three dads communed not only through their shared experience but an unshakeable desire to change society for the better.
The guys spoke to our director Mike about their personal stories, the understanding of suicide they possessed prior to the loss of their daughters, the incredible fundraising campaign for Papyrus UK that has helped them to process their grief, petitions for change, the inimitable power of peer support and their current focus - lobbying for compulsory, age-appropriate suicide prevention education as part of the national curriculum.
We are unbelievably thankful to Andy, Time and Mike for giving so much of their precious time to talk to us and share their campaign with you, our valued listeners. They are used to talking to the Prime Minister these days, so to spare some time for little old Start Within feels really quite humbling!
Please, please, please listen to this episode - it is so important and we all have a part to play. Find out more about 3 Dads Walking here and pledge your support today.
