Mindstep Pilgrimage – Lloyd and friends cycle 250 miles to save young lives

Conveyancing Foundation Patron and Founder Lloyd Davies and eight friends will start their 250-mile cycle, from Monmouth in Wales to Canterbury, Kent on a charity Pilgrimage in memory of Lloyd’s son Max, who tragically died by suicide at the age of 22 whilst at Canterbury University in 2018.

Suicide remains the single biggest killer of young men in the UK, with 11 young male lives lost every day. The Mindstep Foundation, founded in Max’s memory, is committed to supporting those suffering from mental health issues, breaking the stigma around mental illness, and funding pioneering research into suicide prevention.

“Thank you to the incredible team taking part in this journey with me, and to everyone who continues to support our mission. Together, we are working to solve this terrible pandemic that is so virulent amongst our young men,” said Lloyd Davies.

To hear directly from Lloyd about the challenge and the personal reasons behind taking it on, please watch this video.

Donations are gratefully received via the Conveyancing Foundation Charity Lotto – with every penny raised supporting vital but underfunded suicide prevention research at the University of Glasgow. Good luck in winning the £500 prize draw!
