Lisa & Mark’s Fund BaseCamp in Peter Vint Memory
Mental health is everyone’s business.
We all have it .... but we very rarely learn to share how we are to those around us or to those that care. this was the case for my husband Peter Vint who lost his life to suicide on 26th April 2017. Peter like most who die did not have any diagnosed illness and was not known to mental health service; so the first we knew was when he died. Since then I have in my healing journey tried to raise awareness and reduce the stigma associated with poor mental health and suicide.
As part of the original go fund campaign, I was trekking the Himalayas in Peter Vint’s Memory with my friend Mark Daly in Nov 2020, but due to the impact of Covid this was postponed then cancelled.
The alternative will be an even greater challenge to Base Camp Everest in March 2022 and we are aiming to raise funds for Andy’s Man Club ….
ANDYSMANCLUB is a male suicide prevention charity. Established in 2016 after the tragic loss of Andrew Roberts to suicide aged 23.

They provide a confidential non judgemental space for men to come together to chat about anything that they would like to get off of their chest.

So join us in making a difference by supporting a good cause and any donation will help make an impact.
