We did it! Thank you so much to everyone who offered support, good cheer and donations to the charity. Because of this, more men will get the help they need with their mental health and the shocking statistic below will be a thing of the past. We smashed the target of £1000, I've upped it to £2000 to see if we can double the original!

We are keeping the page open so you can still donate. We actually ended up doing 81 miles due to a slight map and brain related malfunction!

Here's the original details:

I somehow voluntarily signed up to trek 75 miles with my parents over the course of three days, from their house in Oxfordshire to my sister's house in Bristol. That's 25 miles a day, with 15kg on our backs, oh and they are in their 70s and my dad has an ankle injury.

This is one of three stupid activities I am doing over the course of this year, for a very important cause - to raise money to support men's mental health.

This one is for Andy's Man Club, who aim to break the stigma of men talking about their FEELINGS (because men have these too, but sometimes feel they aren't able to express them or reach out for support due to the pressure of having to "man up"). This charity helps by offering free-to-attend local peer-to-peer support groups for guys to open up and support each other through the tough times.

Community is so important to prevent mental health crises. At the worst points of my life, it's always been my friends and family who have held me and pulled me out of the abyss. Although the NHS has excellent mental health support workers, sadly the service is majorly underfunded and you have to basically be on the edge of an actual cliff before you can access help, which is why these charities are so important. Talking, community and support prevents people reaching crisis and ultimately saves lives.

I would love it if you could help me reach my goal AND BEYOND to support this amazing charity making sure that the most common cause of death for men under 45 is no longer suicide.
