Story
The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is leading a
movement against male suicide, the single biggest killer of men under the age
of 45 in the UK.
Mental Health is not something which is solved quickly, such
as with a single operation – CALM provides the vital ongoing support which is
saving lives every day. I believe that this is even more important in our
current situation in lockdown in the UK, which is affecting us all.
I wanted to take on a challenge which reflects this more
than a one-off event. CALM’s #Project84 highlighted a particularly stunning
statistic: that 84 men in the UK take their lives every week.
My target is to deadlift a total of 84 tonnes within 1
month, beginning from 18th May, coinciding with the start of Mental
Health Awareness Week.
Many thanks for your support.
