Story

4 years ago, one of my greatest and most respected role models took his own life. There are many reasons why my Uncle could have taken his own life, however with no signs of depression or intention of suicide, he clearly saw no way out than to end his life. I still firmly believe that if we lived in a different environment with different values and a different culture, my Uncle could still be alive and well today. But unfortunately, suicide is still the biggest killer of men under the age of 45. 

My aim is to help people recognise the signs of depression and prevent the loss of others through raising money for a cause so close to my heart. If you have any extra dollar it would be greatly appreciated!

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 lifeless miserable for you, your friends, your family and for all men. CALM PROVIDES> A free helpline 0800 585858 and webchat (5pm12am daily), which are confidential, anonymous and staffed by trained professionals> Bereavement support through the Support After Suicide Partnership, hosted by CALM> www.theCALMzone.net is CALMs website, hosting inspiring content written by men for men alongside information and support> Successful campaigns tackling stereotypes of masculinity, suicide and male mental health, including #BiggerIssues, #ManDictionary, #DontBottleItUp and #Project84CALMs helpline and webchat services directly prevented 427 suicides in 2017.
