Suicide survivor to carry Baton of Hope in bid to inspire others to ask for help

A young man who has survived multiple suicide attempts is to carry a Baton of Hope in Belfast in a bid to inspire others to open up and reach out for help if they need it.

Ethan Redmond said he has been chosen for the charity initiative and will carry the baton on Friday June 30.

Baton of Hope is a UK charity which aims to open up conversations around better mental health and provisions for that, with the ultimate aim of reducing suicide statistics to zero.
