Went to see the DAC (Disability Arts Cymru) traveling exhibition in Merthyr today, met up with the lovely ladies of DAC, which is always nice. Met up with @cerysknighton who is exhibiting as well, and she told me that her Mum and Dad had bought my painting! Awesome!

According to @WHO somebody, somewhere in the world ends their life every 40 seconds. That’s 99 people every 66 minutes. @the6699project will use this premise to support people to use creativity to talk about suicide, placing creative content between the 66 99 speech marks.

Sometimes, what can seem the tiniest step or simplest gesture can have the greatest impact. If you were to tell your story here or offer words of advice and support, what would you say and how would you do it?
