Welcome to the 'This one is for You!' challenge, where I’ll be lifting 7030kg daily throughout the month of November.

But, wait, that’s not all…

I’ll be pushing my body while proudly adorning a brightly-coloured moustache. It is Mo-vember after all!

Just imagine the looks I’ll get gallivanting around the town, joining work meetings, training (struggling) at the gym, playing rugby, etc. But, really, it’s just another great way to get people (looking at you, lads) talking about mental health.

And YES, you can help choose the colour of my ‘tache. When you donate, just let me know what colour you think would suit this face. We have already had pink, green & orange, so let’s get creative this year!

The reason for all this?

In 2022, over 703,000 people tragically lost their lives to mental health, with 5,275 of those being in the UK.

- 115 people lose their life to suicide per week. 75% of those deaths being men.

- 1/5 people have suicidal thoughts.

- 1/14 people self-harm.

- 1/15 people attempt suicide.

We need to talk more, but we also need to do more.

I’ll be partnering with Beder once again, with the aim of surpassing 2021's total of £1,110.

The daily fitness challenge will be posted on my instagram (@r4zzz), if you're curious about seeing gym and moustache updates!

This cause is very close to my heart. Your support - be that a donation, words of encouragement, or taking steps to look after your own mental health - will be greatly appreciated.
