A woman is helping to organise an epic cycle challenge from west Wales to France to raise money for mental health charities - four years after she found her brother dead in her garden. Andrea Holley, who lives in Gorslas in Carmarthenshire, has opened up candidly about the grief felt by her family after her brother Hywel took his own life despite desperate attempts to get him the help he needed.
Hywel Jones was 46 years old and did not have a long and protracted battle with his mental health. On the contrary, he was a successful professional who had a well-paid job as a chartered surveyor and site manager in Cardiff. Having lived in Aberavon, the father of two young sons had recently moved back to the family home in Cross Hands, 12 miles east of Carmarthen.

His sister Andrea and the rest of the family noticed a change in his behaviour in the final weeks of his life, but nothing could have prepared them for what happened on the afternoon of March 28, 2018.
