Suicide awareness and prevention campaign wants to encourage more open conversation about the issue

What's expected to be the largest ever suicide prevention and awareness campaign in the British Isles will be part of today's TT action.

Baton of Hope will be travelling throughout Britain to encourage more open conversation about suicide, as well as lobbying the UK government to take action.

It's been founded by journalist Mike McCarthy, who lost his son to suicide in 2021.

TT rider James Hillier will carry the baton on the grid ahead of today's Supersport 2 race.
