well, with martin, when we met him last year, you know, was it three weeks after he d lost his daughter? yeah. and he came to talk to us, really, to find out how. how you stay alive, really. this year, the dads stayed with martin on their way through lancashire. we re in a club no one wants to be in. but, you know, you meet these people, and you realise you have great respect for them, cos you don t know how they even get out of bed in the morning with the grief they carry but they do, and they want to make a difference. # my dad s walking on. having walked through northern ireland to stormont, they then started out from edinburgh to wales. there were many surprises along the way. as they passed through andy s home county of cumbria, there was an emotional moment when the folk band, the young uns, sang a song they d penned in the dads honour. # my dad s world was torn in two # no words can hold the pain he knew # but there was one
thing he could do- # so my dad s walking on. and a stay with manchester s mayor saw more high profile names offer their support. well, this will keep you going tomorrow. yeah, this is good. this is awesome. i think what they re doing isjust tremendously important. it s a conversation the nation needs to have. and actually putting it into the curriculum and encouraging a conversation with younger people isjust where we ve got to go with this. it s bizarre, isn t it? you re staying in someone s house, as in andy burnham s house, and you come down for tea, not expecting anything but a curry that andy was preparing in the kitchen, and then sam allardyce walks in, and then robbie fowler walks in. there was a lot of bravado, certainly in football. - probably now people are starting to talk about it a little bit more. i do you find it quite a sort of reflection of the level of attention that you have managed to get for this? you ve opened some doors
