In late August 2025 I went to a very dark place with my mental health hurting a lot of people in the process

A combination of my girlfriend, mum, sister, children, and other friends and family showed me that I had love around me.

They encouraged me to attend Andy’s Man Club , Wombwell, Barnsley.

Along side the people mentioned above, these strangers, these men, helped to save my life .

I’m running the virtual London Marathon to raise awareness for:

Men’s mental health

Andy’s Man Club

And to say thank you

I want to raise money that will go towards the 300+ groups under the AMC umbrella doing amazing things

I’ve had planned a route starting and finishing at Wombwell Library that takes on all 4 Barnsley AMC venues and 2 in Rotherham. But after considering I’ve decided to change to starting at Andy’s Wombwell and running an out and back on the trans pennine trail instead. Also easier for people to join for sections

I’ve run marathons before , but my SSRIs are causing me fatigue , a 10k feels like a 1/2 marathon so this will be the hardest yet

Any donations are welcome, however large or small

likewise if anyone wants to run, walk , cycle , hop, space hopper or dance along with me then I’d welcome the company, even it’s just for a few hundred yards

Thanks for reading
