Story
Myself and my friends will be taking part in a sponsored walk from Robin Hood bay to Whitby abbey and back .
We sadly lost a dear friend recently . He wasn’t just a friend , he was a son , a partner and heartbreakingly a dad .
We are raising this money for Checkmate :a men’s mental health hub .
Checkmate exists to bring men together and start conversations around mental health. Through exercise and social events, we create supportive spaces where men can connect, talk, and feel less alone.
Having lost loved ones to mental health struggles, this cause is deeply personal to us. While we know our events won’t fix everything, they can be the first step — helping someone open up, change how they feel, and realise support is there.
Every donation helps us run more events, reach more men, and continue spreading awareness. Thank you for supporting Checkmate and helping us make a difference.
