Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 30th April I will be participating in the Isle of Wight Challenge. Initially signing up, I thought it would be a breeze and I'd just be chumming my sister for a slightly enduring walk. I've now realised that the challenge is walking 106km in under 24 hours. A bigger and tougher ask than I expected.

For this challenge I will be fundraising for The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), which is a registered charity that exists to offer men support and guidance when they're down or in a crisis and offers help to those affected by suicide. Horrifically, suicide is the biggest killer in men under the age of 45. Our society doesn't acknowledge or recognise male depression and those suffering often stay quiet because of the pressures of the male image.

As a family personally affected by male suicide, losing my old man far too young, I feel proud to represent this charity for this challenge. I hope that with your support and some fundraising I can smash the monster walk ahead but more importantly the £500 target.

Thank you x
