For a long time, I've felt a pull to do something meaningful for men's mental health each November. So, I'm turning my passion into purpose with one simple question: How much can we bench press in 30 days?

I wanted to contribute in a way that felt authentic to me.

That’s what sparked this ambitious idea: How much could I bench collectively in a month? Yet, under the weight of a barbell, I remind myself that I am not meant to carry heavy burdens alone.

I believe we are stronger together, especially when so many men struggle in silence. That's why I'm launching this ambitious challenge: to see how much weight we can collectively bench press this month to raise money for Black Minds Matter UK.

The proceeds will go to Black Minds Matter UK, an organisation whose mission I deeply believe in. They are working towards a future where every Black person in the UK can easily access free mental health support that understands their cultural experience, allowing them to recover fully, thrive and inspire others.
