Story

Hi everyone. I’ll be running the Cardiff Half Marathon on October 6th 2019 to raise money for the Charity CALM. 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. This is a killer bigger than cancer, heart disease or traffic accidents. No one should have to feel like suicide is the only way out. My aim is to raise more awareness, support and encourage people just to listen and be kind because you never know what someone is really going through.

CALMs goal is a life less miserable for you, your friends, your family and for all men.CALM'S SOLUTION> 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 647 suicides in 2018. Help us save more men's lives.
