This July I'll be running a 100km/62mile off-road ultra marathon to raise money for the mental health charity Mind. As well as the challenge being a ridiculous test of my body, it's a hugely personal charity for me and, indeed, for a lot of people out there. The statistics are, quite frankly, shocking: men in the UK aged 20 to 49 are more likely to die from suicide than any other cause of death. As someone who has previously suffered some significant lows, I gathered some good mates and headed deep into the Lake District mountains to spend a night wild camping in a cave to do what a lot of men find really difficult to do: talk. We shared our own collective experiences of depression, anxiety and panic disorder, reflected on what has helped us, and, hopefully, gave some strength and advice to anyone going through similar things currently. Please give it a watch as it took the lads a great deal of courage to speak up so openly. Finally, if you'd like to help me raise much-needed funds for Mind, please consider sponsoring my ultra marathon effort so that we can drive that shocking statistic down...
