Event: Great Manchester Run Half Marathon 2019, on 19 May 2019
Running the Manchester Half 2019 for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) to help us save men's lives.

Story

I shall be running my first ever Half Marathon this May! I’ve chosen to raise money for CALM to help raise awareness of Men’s mental health. To start that conversation that might save a man’s life. 

My personal goal is to get people reaching out and to get people talking about Men’s emotions. Depression and anxiety do not have a face... they do not discriminate and can easily go un-noticed. The pressure on young boys and men to stay strong, to “man up” is becoming fairly toxic and as a result, we are seeing more and more men slip into a miserable way of life. 

If you would like to help me get this conversation started then you can help in 2 simple but amazing ways;

1- make a small donation towards this page to support the work that CALM are already doing.

2- Reach out to that friend, brother, father, uncle or colleague and let them know that not being okay... is absolutely okay. 

Thanks!!!!!!!
