Story

Thanks for taking the time to read my story. 

I want to be as honest as possible so here goes...

I'm Mike and I'm an Overthinker with Obsessive compulsive tendencies. Only my close friends and family will know this, I don't sleep very much and try to always stay busy and active to stop my head working overtime.  

I always try to use this in a positive way, which is why I'm raising money for Calm, an anti suicide charity!

It's been proven that, exercise and being outdoors can improve your mood and mental health massively. 

Speaking from my experiences, every time I feel like my head is about to fall off, I alway feel blessed that I've found an outlet in the gym or outdoors. It clear's my head, calms my mind and makes me feel good! 

Not everyone in life will have an outlet and ultimately lead to dark times in there lives. 

I will be will be climbing the summit of Snowdon (route tbc) whilst carrying a fridge on my back to represent the burden that Mental health can have on us all. 

I urge anyone who is struggling or going though bed times to join me on the day. But don't worry, you don't have to carry a fridge lol, you can bend my ear or just keep me company but in true army style, I will carry a beer in the fridge for anyone who joins, to celebrate at the summit. 

So if you would like to donate online or on the day, big or small, it would be massively appreciated. 

Or if you are old fashioned like me I will have sponsorship forms at my work and my local gym. 

Thank you for reading 

Much love n respect 

Mikey
