Fundraising for cause areas including:
Mental health and suicide prevention

We are in the midst of a pandemic - one of mental health and suicide. This now hits home more than ever because this year we lost our best friend, unexpectedly and tragically.

Globally, the rate of suicide is alarmingly high, particularly in men. The reasons for the disproportionate rates are complex, but fundamentally many men are simply ‘toughing it out’, keeping their feelings to themselves and struggling in silence. Alcohol and substance abuse is normalised and the pressure of a very different and challenging world can mount up. Help me stop men dying too young!

We need to come together and do our part to fix society as a whole. Some things we cannot affect, but looking out for our fellow men and women is one thing we can do - we are all under varying degrees and types of pressure. Very few things on this earth can withstand pressure without the potential to crack. I can only understand the pressure of being a man. A good man. A good son, partner, friend, dog Dad. Holding down a good job, making ‘enough’ money, keeping a roof over our heads, looking good, being liked, being healthy, supporting others in times of need. For some, there’s the added pressure of being an amazing parent. All these things that are rightly expected of us, but the accumulation can be daunting - especially when we feel like we are failing at any one of them.

We need to understand how we have got to this point, talk about it, encourage honest dialogue raise awareness, and ultimately try and change this. Together.
