Story
We are undertaking this challenge because we really want to help a cause that we deeply care about.
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. Our goal is a life less miserable for you, your friends, your family and for all men.
We all know someone who has had mental health struggles. It's one of the largest battles in our society, and the challenge to overcome them is huge. So representing CALM at such a large event will be a great honour, and hopefully the money we raise will help prevent future tragedies.
This cycle won't be easy. Neither of us has cycled at night, done much training, or (if being honest) aren't in peak physical shape. However, a healthy dose of plucky determined mentality should see us through.
Thanks for any donations given.
