I’m running the Bath Half to raise funds for IceBreakers, a men’s wellbeing charity helping men connect through nature, challenge and community.

Every donation helps IceBreakers launch new chapters, train volunteers and keep its regular sessions free and accessible.

I’ve included a bit more about why I’m taking on this challenge below, but please know that any donation, big or small, would mean a huge amount.

Thank you for your support.

I've been attending Ice Breakers in Bath for nearly 4 years and it's such an important part of my week. It's helped me to manage stress, boost my general health and build strong friendships in my area. I've met men from all sorts of backgrounds, ages, and facing all sorts of challenges and seen how Ice Breakers has made a big difference to them all. Since I joined, the community has grown well beyond Bath and become a national charity - which is fantastic because it means they can now offer the same opportunity in many more towns and cities! It's rare to see men share in the way they do in this community, and learn from each others experience, which is essential to tackle the often unseen mental health crisis among men. As it's run by a team of volunteers, the funds raised for Ice Breakers ensures they have the training and equipment to create a safe, welcoming space in all our chapters.
