Pete's Dragons
Comfort after Suicide Loss

Pete Wicks was just 24 when he took his own life. He had no history of mental illness and gave no indication that he was suffering. He was popular in his home town in Cornwall, had loads of friends and had a family that loved him dearly. We will never understand why he did what he did. We feel the impact of his loss every single day.
Pete's big sister, Alison - our Diva Dragon, does not want anyone to go through this experience alone she is a woman on a mission and will not stop until every family in the South West, the UK and then globally is supported. She has recruited a team of passionate Dragons that are driven to provide others with the comfort and support we so desperately wish we had.
