My motivation

GLOBALLY, ON AVERAGE, 1 MAN DIES BY SUICIDE EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY.

On 24th November, we kayaked a marathon, 26.2miles from Loch Tay to Dunkeld.

In 2022 I deadlifted 100kg every minute for one hour, for every male who takes their own life in this hour.

Last year I attempted to deadlift 80kg, 60 times an hour, for 12 hours. A total of 720 reps and nearly 60 tonnes. Falling short of my goal but succeeding at raising awareness and completing 500 reps!

I will also be encouraging and supporting fundraising efforts by individuals and teams in University of Strathclyde Movember Challenge and Strathclyde Canoe Club.

Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men's health, and this Movember I'm joining them. Together we can make a difference for men's health – in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Help me stop men dying too young.

Thank you so much for all the donations: we’ve far exceeded my target and expectations.
Update: I managed to complete the challenge of deadlifting 100kg on the minute every minute for 1 hour.

Taking suggestions for next year :)

Thank you for all the donations. We are very close to the £200 goal but would love to raise above this.
Location and timing: the attempt will be taking place on Platform 1 at Strathclyde Sport Centre at 9am.
If the aim of £200 has been reached before the attempt I will be upping the weight and attempting to deadlift 100kg every minute for the hour between 9am and 10am.
Thanks you for your support
