Big message to start a big year. Wanted to say a few words and raise awareness for something close to me that iv not shared with many people. 

I’ve struggled with mental health in the past and I still do today, I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression for many years. I’ve had some of the most serious lows in my life but I’ve always been lucky enough to have some amazing people around me to bring me back up again. In the past I haven’t been keen on talking about it but speaking out and talking to people changed my mentality and is still sinking in today, even just one person listening can help. Men often fear peoples opinions and judgement, we won’t talk about our problems or our worry’s. Male suicide is the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK. In 2015, 75% of all UK suicides were male. It’s a problem that takes courage to speak out. 

In 2019 Scott Evans and I are running a gruelling 10 races for CALM men’s mental health. 

*******PLEASE DONATE***** to CALM through us and help raise awareness, every thought and donation counts.
