Liam Kavanagh is taking on a challenge that’s meant to be felt. To raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention, he’s hiking in a 15kg weight vest—1kg for every suicide in England and Wales each day—and walking one mile at a time as a group until they reach 5,475 miles, representing the total number of suicides in England and Wales each year.
