“Well Scotland didn’t disappoint, it absolutely hammered down. I am drenched. Nice one Scotland, love you!
“We have had every season you could imagine today. We’ve had rain, wind, sleet, hail, sun but we made it to England.
“Day one in the bank, one on the board. Buzzing, feeling good. Honestly I feel really good. It will get harder, I know it will but that’s one day done.”
***CALM CEO statement***
CALM CEO, Simon Gunning, added: “Ricky’s passion for raising awareness so others could find the help they needed was second to none. In his first interview as a CALM Ambassador, Ricky said that he believed his job was to help people. He said: ‘Bad times won’t last forever – you think they will, but they won’t if you go and speak to someone. No one should ever be scared to admit they need help. I promise you, it’s the best thing you’ll ever do’.
“Darren’s not only raising money for CALM’s services with his incredible challenge, but is continuing the message Ricky brilliantly championed when working with us. We can’t thank him enough for choosing to raise funds for CALM and show there’s always a way forward if you’re struggling.”
