The Lost Hours – a walk to remember those lost by suicide
23/09/2019 // No CommentsThe Lost Hours walk in London is the first event to be organised by CALM, the Campaign Against Living Miserably. They are leading a movement against suicide, the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK.
“When it hurts we talk. When the clocks go back we walk. 11 pm on Saturday 26 October: Time to unite against suicide.
As time goes backwards, we’re walking forwards to campaign against feeling rubbish, against struggling in silence, against being alone, against living miserably.
16 people take their own life every day, leaving behind thousands of friends, family and colleagues. On the one day we are given extra time, we walk for all those for whom there wasn’t enough.
This is a night time walk starting at 11pm. You can choose to walk the full route (c.20miles), from Greenwich to Big Ben and back again, or the shorter route (c.10 miles) that finishes in Oval.”
