Episode 61
In memory of Ross McCarthy.
Mike McCarthy is a respected and experienced journalist, who's previous employers include Sky News and BBC. In February of this year, Mike's son Ross (31) tragically lost his life to suicide. Mike and his family have spent the last few months grieving, whilst also trying to raise awareness of suicide, and try to improve mental health provisions.
We are incredibly humbled to welcome Mike onto the podcast today to tell us about his son Ross.
Mike's daughter Laura McCarthy is raising money for CALM in memory of Ross. If you would like to donate then you can do so by following the link below:
