BLEND Bude Youth Collective are taking on a brand new challenge to raise money and awareness for suicide prevention in young people on Sunday, March 10.

Their mission is to walk over six miles from Morwenstow to Bude, along the coastal path to raise money for the charity, PAPYRUS, prevention of suicide in young people.

They will be carrying a ‘worry box’ containing real worries from members of the youth collective, which will be written on slates. In total this will weigh around 10kg!

As the journey unfolds members will leave worries at certain mile stones along the way. This is to highlight the burden of worry and doubt, showing how heavy and hard to bare they can be. But also, how sharing them with others and letting others help can lighten the load and eventually through a little hardship and struggle, those worries can be left behind.

The group will keep a video diary of their journey and use this to hopefully raise as much as possible through a Just Giving page.

They will comprise a group of 14 eleven to 16-year-olds supporting each other through this mission. They will be accompanied by six adults.

BLEND have raised £165 already on their Just Giving page and have a pledge of £250 from a local church.

For further updates on the walk, visit the BLEND Facebook page. The group would love to have anyone who wishes to support this important cause to come along and help the ‘worry walkers’ home. They will be reaching the finish line outside the Surf Life Saving Club at Crooklets beach in Bude.
