Rise Against Suicide · 28 November 2021 ·

Last year 4,657 men died by suicide. This November we want you to join us to rise against it. 4,657 meters will be walked across the nation to honour the men we lost to suicide and the families left devastated. Let's Rise Against Suicide.

Story

I have created a team to take part in the Rise Against Suicide Walk because suicide has affected so many of our lives in recent years and I think it will be a good way to honour the memory of our loved ones, as well as raising money for a charity.

I'm plotting a route starting at the University of Leicester. It's beautiful around there and Victoria park in the morning. Please donate what you can and share the link.

Also, everyone is welcome to join the team, so if you want to walk with us, send me a message and I'll give you all the details.

3 out of 4 suicides in the UK are men. 13 take their lives every day. 13 men yesterday, and 13 more today.Decathlon and HUMEN are working together to tackle this emergency by encouraging everyone to #RiseAgainstSuicide and #MoveForYourMind. We cant always see the battles our fathers, brothers, husbands, sons, and friends are facing. But physical activity and the chance to talk can be an enormous help.I am joining the Rise Again Walk 4,657 metre challenge. At sunrise on 28th November I will be walking a metre for each man lost to suicide every year, each family left empty.Please help me raise £250, enough for 100 men to access the HUMEN Space: The Gym for Your Mind.
