A few years ago I was introduced to Save Our Sons and it hit me straight away, I thought what if this was one of my boys? I was honoured when asked to be an ambassador. I simply accepted, hung up the phone with tears rolling down my cheeks. To see the work Save Our Sons carries out with a common goal to save boys is humbling."
