Baton of Hope: 'Suicide is not the answer'

The Baton of Hope has been carried through Birmingham.

It's the UK's biggest ever suicide awareness and prevention initiative with 17 people take their own life every day in the UK.

Suicide is the biggest killer of men and women under 35 in the UK - more than in traffic accidents and more than cancer.

The Baton of Hope aims to raise awareness and reduce the stigma of asking for help as our reporter Leona Smart discovers at The Alexandra Stadium where the Birmingham leg of the relay starts.
