Story
In 2019 I will be participating in a series of races, situated all throughout the UK to help raise awareness & tackle the stigma surrounding mental health, as well as to fundraise money in aid of Mind: the national mental health charity.
In the UK, men are three times more likely to commit suicide as opposed to women. As somebody who has battled with depression and my mental health for a number of years, as well as seen what a horrible disease it can be to those around you including loved ones, I have decided to tackle the stigma head-on.
My challenge will see me travel the length & depth of the UK, taking me to areas such as London, Glasgow & Newcastle. The complete race list can be seen below.
