Three fathers who lost their daughters to suicide will be coming Cambridgeshire to talk about their new book, Three Dads Walking: 300 Miles of Hope.

Mike Palmer from Greater Manchester, Andy Airey from Cumbria, and Tim Owen from Norfolk, are known as Three Dads Walking.

In 2021 the trio walked 300 miles, and in 2022 they walked 600 miles - all to raise awareness of suicide. 

They are united in their grief for their daughters - Sophie, Beth and Emily - who took their own lives.

So far, the three dads have raised more than £1 million for Papyrus, a charity supporting the prevention of young suicide.

They've now written a book, and will be appearing at a Toppings Booksellers event at The Lighthouse Auditorium in Ely on June 3 to talk about it.

The book is built around personal diary entries from a place of grief and loss, but also about the power of speaking out.

A spokesperson for Toppings said: "The 3 Dads bear a heavy load, but they walk on for us all, finding light in the wild after the darkest times."

Tickets to the event are available on the Toppings website, which you can access by clicking here.

The event will contain discussions around mental health and suicide.
