About this listen

Liam Kavanagh is taking on a challenge that’s meant to be felt. To raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention, he’s hiking in a 15kg weight vest1kg for every suicide in England and Wales each day—and walking one mile at a time as a group until they reach 5,475 miles, representing the total number of suicides in England and Wales each year.
In this episode, we talk about why he chose to make the message physical, what the miles are teaching him, and how community, conversation, and visibility can help save lives. It’s a powerful reminder that behind every number is a person—and none of us should carry it alone.
