We raise awareness in male domestic abuse to bring the silent issue out into the open

Story

I wasn’t going to do this but feel I need to after some in-depth discussions.

I had absolutely no intentions due to the generosity of people back in 2020.

I felt I couldn’t ask for anymore as it would be rude.

However I’ve decided to do something dangerous and put the body through additional strain to help others once again.

I have been training to swim across the Mersey which is a feat within itself, under the Guidance of an incredible person Steve McHugh who constantly goes out his way to help others. Plus a personal thank you to a Friend Peter Spencer who has inspired me to push on with his advice and support.


I am for ever grateful.
