Following the devestating loss of one of my closest and best friends to suicide, I wanted to raise awareness of mental health issues.
In association with the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH), and as a tribute to my friend, I created a t-shirt using lyrics from Randy Newman's "You've Got a Friend In Me".
The t-shirt was released during the month of December, the 1st would've been my friends 35th birthday. Together, we raised £3,189.19.
Dundee has one of the highest suicide rates in Scotland and we're still to overcome the stigma surrounding mental illness. If you or a loved one needs to chat about mental health, SAMH are there to help.
