Hi I'm Jay, a normal 30 year old man from Greater Manchester. I realised through my years of dealing with depression myself and losing a friend due to this debilitating Elf on your shoulder, that more needs to be done to assist and help people, and importantly men who suffer/have suffered and will at one time in their life suffer from depression. I raised awareness last year by walking from Austria to Manchester, starting In Austria and going through Germany, Nederland's, Belgium, France and back to the UK in foot. I purely did this to raise awareness and help people to talk more openly and freely about depression and in turn throw the Mental Elf off your back and become confident to talk about it. In July I will be fighting for depression in men for White Collar Fighter Event at Bowlers in Manchester. I'd like to raise as much awareness as I possibly can and in turn raise some money for Mind Charity who help with mental illness. Please donate to my page and help me to throw the Mental Elf off your back and get rid of the stigma behind mental illness and depression.
