Run 50km over the month of November · 30 November 2025

Story

💈 Shep’s Movember Challenge for Elliot’s Place 💈

Running 50km this November to raise £500 for men’s mental health in Blackpool

Hi everyone 👋

This November, I’m taking on a double challenge: growing the Mo and running 50 kilometres over the month to raise £500 for Elliot’s Place — a brilliant local men’s suicide prevention and peer support group based right here in Blackpool.

Elliot’s Place provides a safe, welcoming space for men to talk, connect, and get support when they need it most. They’re doing vital work to tackle the stigma around men’s mental health and to prevent suicide in our community. Every pound raised will go directly toward helping them continue this life-saving work.

We all know someone who’s struggled in silence — a friend, a brother, a dad, or even ourselves. This cause means a lot to me, and your support can genuinely make a difference.

💷 The Goal

Raise £500 throughout Movember to help Elliot’s Place reach and support even more men in need.

🏃‍♂️ The Challenge

• Grow the best (or worst!) moustache I can

• Run 50km in total across the month

• Share updates and progress every week

🙌 How You Can Help

• Donate: Any amount — big or small — will make an impact.

• Share: Spread the word and help more people hear about Elliot’s Place.

• Support: Check in with the men in your life — a simple chat can go a long way.

Thank you for reading, supporting, and helping make a real difference. Let’s get people talking, running, and growing those Mos for men’s mental health 💙
