Welcome to The Canmore Trust Podcast where we share conversations of hope, support and connection.
In this thirteenth episode, John Gibson is joined by John Bell, who shares the story of his son Jake who he lost to suicide. John speaks openly about grief, anger and the struggle to keep going when he did not want to be here himself.
The conversation also explores how he began to rebuild through the outdoors, long-distance walks and a powerful Deadpool fundraising challenge that became a symbol of endurance, memory and purpose.
John reflects on how he has managed to carry on Jake’s legacy through his charity “Walking 4 Hope” and the systemic changes he would like to see to avoid others having to go through what he did.
