A CYCLE ride raising awareness for mental health was such a big success last year that it is returning next week.

Staff from Hampshire NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS) will be aiming to cycle 145 miles, a mile for every young life ended by suicide each year.

When the event was launched last year at Fareham Shopping Centre, the staff surpassed the 145 miles by cycling 200 miles.
