Three dads raise more than £1m for suicide charity after their daughters take their own lives

Three dads have raised more than £1 million for a national suicide prevention charity after their daughters took their own lives.

Andy Airey, from Cumbria, Mike Palmer, from Greater Manchester, and Tim Owen, from Norfolk, all lost their daughters to suicide.

Andy, who lives in the Eden Valley, lost his daughter Sophie Airey when she ended her life on December 19, 2018. The 29-year-old, who worked as an oncology nurse in Edinburgh, died the day before she was due to return to Cumbria for Christmas.
