I'm raising £5,000 for a health/medical cause

🚣‍♂️ Four Marathons. 24 Hours. One Mission: Men’s Mental Health. 💙

Hi, I’m Phil kaleta a fitness and Life coach based in Telford. I have decided to taking on the biggest fitness challenge of my life starting Friday 28th of November at 5pm at Foundry Gym Telford and finishing Saturday 29th in Southwater Telford Town Centre. — to row four full marathons within 24 hours to raise awareness and funds for men’s mental health. I have never rowed one marathon let alone four.

This challenge isn’t about me, nor rowing — it’s about breaking silence and raise awareness about men’s mental health.

Sadly In the UK, three out of every four suicides are men.

The latest statistics for England & Wales are shocking, in the 24 hours I will be rowing over 17 men will take their own lives.

Fathers. Sons. Brothers. Friends. Men who felt they couldn’t speak up, or that no one would understand.

I’ve seen how tough life can get for men — the pressure to stay strong, hold it all together, and never show weakness. But silence costs lives. And that’s why I’m doing this.

Each stroke, every metre, represents the fight so many men face inside their own minds every single day.

💬 “This row is for every man who’s ever felt alone, unheard, or unseen. You matter. You’re not alone.”

Please donate if you can, share this challenge, or simply start a conversation with someone who might need it. Or pop down and join me for a row, a chat and a coffee. We are blessed in Telford to have numerous organisations and foundations in Telford and surrounding areas helping to support men’s mental health. Telford Mind, Primal Instincts and Mandem Meetup who all do amazing work in the community. I have chosen to donation all monies to The Breath of Life men’s mental health foundation. To help them continue the amazing work, activities and the safe spaces they have created to help support men suffering and to break their silence and remind them they aren’t alone.

Together, we can raise awareness, fund vital support, and remind men that it’s okay to talk.

💪 4 Marathons | 24 Hours | 1 Mission
