Andrew said: "This fund-raiser is is memory of my friend, Simon Sharples, who took his own life in December 2014, aged 36. This would have been the sort of event he would have loved.
"I did this for the first time last year with a small group of friends and this year I put it on Facebook to get more people involved.
