Why chip into my JustGiving campaign? Because behind my half marathon strides are some real-life struggles. Losing two men in my family to suicide hit hard, and wrestling with my own mental health chaos hasn't been a picnic either. But guess what? I've found solace in exercise and ditching the booze, and now I'm lacing up to put myself through what can only be described as hell—a.k.a. a half marathon.

Your donation isn't just about backing me in my running shoes; it's about backing a cause aimed at raising awareness of men’s mental health and preventing male suicide. Men are checking out way too soon. Join me in the fight for men's mental health—it's a cause worth every agonising step of the 21.1km
