Many tiny projects to raise funds for Campaign Against Living Miserably

Matt Bagwell is raising money for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably)

We are the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) and we're leading a movement against suicide, the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK.

Story

CW: Suicide

I have been there, stepping onto the edge of self destruction twice. I'm still circled by the black dog; just more at a distance now.

In 2021, I ran 1013 kilometres, over 22 unique ultra marathons in less than one month. The adventure started on Sunday the 5th of September, 2021 in Cornwall and officially finished on Friday the 1st of October in London. Two days later, I popped the London Marathon onto the end for good measure!

Together with incredible support—many who ran uncharted personal distances—we raised over £53,000 and generated county-wide awareness in local and national press.

Five years later, the need goes on. I set an original audacious target of £105,000 and I'm determined to raise it.

I do lots of tiny projects to support postive health, including free breathwork and movement classes on the beach in Shoreham-by-Sea.

Slowly and surely, the amount we are raising is rising.

Thank you for every £££.

Matt
