Welling dad who lost baby climbs Kilimanjaro to 'stop blokes bottling it up'
Briefly

'Back in 2009, my wife and I were due to have our second child. It was a normal pregnancy with no sort of issues or anything like that... then doctors told us that they couldn't find a heartbeat.'
'SANDS were great for my wife, who got a lot with it, it didn't resonate with me. I was in the police, and they gave me some counselling for the bereavement... I didn't deal with it properly.'
'I just turned into an unpleasant person because of all the trauma and everything else was underlying and building up inside of me. Graham was later diagnosed with depression and found himself in a dark place.'
'In 2019, Graham founded a charity called StrongMen, a UK bereavement charity. StrongMen wanted men to leave their homes for the weekend and climb Mount Snowdon in Wales. Samantha encouraged Graham to try it.'
