VIDEO: ANTI-bullying and hate crime campaigner Adrian Derbyshire was back in Warrington’s Golden Square shopping centre at the weekend promoting his 2016 community outreach campaign and #SASSY – his campaign in memory of daughter Julia, who tragically took her life last year.
He was joined by some of Julia’s schoolfriends to help raise funds for his ongoing campaign.
Adrian has already spoken to over 160,000 people nationwide about his anti-bullying and hate crime campaign which took a new and tragic twist last October when he found Julia collapsed at their Warrington home.
He fought desperately to save her life with CPR until an ambulance came but after five days on life support Adrian had to take the heart-breaking decision to turn the machine off.
Julia was a big part of Adrian’s anti-bullying and hate crime campaign, often travelling with him to spread the message and helping to save young lives.
The new section of his campaign, under the hashtag #SASSY (Support Against Self-harm and Suicide in Youth), is dedicated to her memory and his drive to try to ensure it doesn’t happen to others.
Adrian is back on the road, travelling thousands or miles to speak to thousands of people.
