The Legacy of Hope Walk with The Jordan Legacy
We'd like to invite you to take part in a very special national event taking place on Sunday May 17th in Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
In collaboration with suicide prevention charity, West Wellbeing in Northern Ireland.
The Jordan Legacy is inviting you to join us on Sunday May 17th, for our “The Legacy of Hope Walk – creating ripples of hope for those affected by suicide”.
Creating a Ripple of Hope for Those Affected by Suicide
Every suicide leaves a ripple effect.
Families devastated.
Friends searching for answers.
Communities asking what more could have been done.
At The Jordan Legacy, we believe those ripples can also become ripples of hope.
On Sunday 17 May, the final day of Mental Health Awareness Week, people across the UK will come together for The Legacy of Hope Walk — a national moment of remembrance, reflection and action.
Some will walk together in Harrogate.
Others will walk in their own communities across the UK.
But wherever we walk, we walk for the same reason:
To remember those we have lost and to help prevent future suicides.

Why This Walk Matters
Every day in the UK, families receive the devastating news that someone they love has died by suicide.
The Jordan Legacy was created following our loss of Jordan.
Rather than allowing Jordan’s death to be the end of the story, we chose to turn tragedy into action – working to reduce suicide deaths and support those affected.
The Legacy of Hope Walk continues that mission in Jordan’s memory.

How You Can Take Part
There are three ways to be involved:
- Join the walk in Harrogate: Walk with us and be part of the main event. 3 laps (5 kms) of Harrogate’s famous Stray.
- Host your own walk: Gather friends, colleagues or your community and walk together wherever you are, either on the day or a day that suits you
- Walk your own way: Take part individually – in your local park, countryside or neighbourhood, either on the day or a day that suits you.
Wherever you walk, you will be part of a national ripple of hope.
Want more of a challenge?
For some, walking 5 kms might not feel like enough of a challenge.
Could you carry the weight of someone you know who could no longer continue to carry the burden of life?
On May 17th, for the Harrogate walk, Jordan’s father, Steve, will carry a rucksack on his back. The rucksack’s contents will weigh 81Kg – the weight Jordan was, recorded by the coroner.
Will you carry the weight of someone you love and miss?
