My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Mental health and suicide prevention

Having suffered with poor mental health for over a decade, I know what it’s like to feel alone, and not being able to talk about how you truly feel. Throughout this time I’ve had thoughts of suicide, weeks on end of feeling worthless and a failure, and not feeling like I have a purpose, or that I belong to anyone, anywhere.

Fortunately, I’ve found ways to cope with my anxiety and depressive episodes, mainly through extreme physical challenges, which I understand isn’t everyone’s cuppa, but the principle is what counts here.

I believe that every man should find their own version of ‘extreme physical challenges’. A coping mechanism which brings them out of the dark, and into this bright, amazing (and sometimes fucking weird) world we live in, and change their perception on the feelings they have to try and turn them into strengths, not weaknesses.

Every year for as long as I can, I intend to take part in an extreme physical challenge, mainly running (perhaps stupidly) very far distances to raise money for a cause so close to my heart. So please, if you can spare anything, donate and see your money be put to something that could prevent a dad, a lad or anyone else you might know from taking their life and living a fulfilled one instead.

Thank you!
