'I'm backpacking around Ireland to raise funds to help suicide prevention network'

A Dublin man has been backpacking around Ireland in order to raise money for a local suicide prevention charity.

For the past 25 days, 28-year-old Darrell Monks has been walking and sleeping in a tent in order to raise funds for Finglas Suicide Network (FSN). The service, he said, saved his life last year, and they only asked him for a €5 per session.

Darrell said he was shocked at their generosity, after eight weeks, he only owed them €40. And noticing that they are under-resourced, a small service in a big town, he decided to do something to help them.
