Three Dads Walking

The guys come from different parts of the country but have one thing in common, all three have had teenage daughters who committed suicide.
They met up some years ago and formed a friendship and have been raising money for the charity PAPYRUS by doing long walks for the last few years. They passed through the next village to ours this afternoon near the end of day 23 of this years walk (two more days to go). They started in Sterling in Scotland on the 17th of April, just three guys ,no back up team or support. However where ever they walk people come and join them for a few miles or a few hours, talking and sharing stories. They have relied on local people for supplies and  accommodation. When we meet up with them they were recording their daily video update, totally unprofessional but showing clearly how well they get on together.
Further information about their walks, the charity and the reasons why they are involved can be found on the ThreeDadsWalking web page where it is also possible to donate to support their cause.
They were just three really nice blokes who have had to live through terrible events in their lives and are raising money to try and prevent other families suffering in the same way.
