In May I’m going to complete project 400, where I’ll run ten 40 mile ultra-marathons in ten days to help raise awareness and money around mental health and specifically the men’s mental health charity Andy’s Man Club.

The latest data shows 16 people die by suicide in England and Wales every day. 12 of these are men. That’s 1 man every 2 hours. This needs to change.

Andy’s man club is a men’s mental health charity which is aiming to reduce the number of men that die by suicide. They run over 240 peer facilitated support session for men to speak about their mental health in a judgement-free, non-clinical environment every Monday at 7pm.

I attend the Milford group here in Leeds and can honestly say it’s amazing. The environment is open and supportive and it really does change lives.
