Raising £3530 for the Headlight Project Hike into the Light
This July 4th we took part in The Headlight Projects Hike into the Light. The Headlight Project aims to reduce the number of deaths by suicide in the Tees Valley, which has one of the highest regional rates in the country. The Headlight Project aim to achieve this by providing therapy to those bereaved by suicide, and delivering preventative education and training to schools, local businesses and the community.
12 of us from Caswells Group pooled our fundraising efforts and managed to raise an amazing £3530 for The Headlight Project. We walked 11pm – 4:30am in the dark of the night, through forest, fields and farms, ending up at a chapel and reflecting on the night we had just had. We then walked back to Cod Beck in Osmotherley down the long road as the sun came up. It was a hard walk, but to know how much we were raising helped spur us on.
