Story
The Team:
Howard Moore, David Mullan, David Rix, Colin Heath & Lee Sutterby
The challenge (The Wall):
To conquer a 70 mile ultramarathon from Carlisle to Newcastle - all on foot in race against the clock. With 26 hours to complete, the challenge will be a unique test of both physical and mental resilience. https://www.ratrace.com/the-wall-ultramarathon
The good cause:
We have chosen to raise money for Menfulness as we are all part of the demographic (men under the age of 50) for whom suicide remains the biggest killer. As with so many, all of us have either directly or indirectly been affected by issues surrounding mental health and wellbeing and believe that supporting a charity that addresses the silent epidemic within modern society is vital in improving the lives of not just men who may be struggling, but their families and loved ones. Menfulness is a charity local to most of us, with all of us recognising and appreciating the essential support the superstars at Menfulness provide for the community. The Wall is going to be one heck of a challenge, so please give generously. Even more importantly, please look out for one another and assure anyone who may be struggling that there are people and groups out there – you are never alone.
