In Memory of Grant: Racing for Change

Last summer, we tragically lost our dear friend, Grant. His passing left a void in our lives that is impossible to fill, but it also gave us a shared mission: to ensure that fewer people have to face their darkest moments alone.

Throughout this year, we will be taking on a series of challenges and events to raise funds for two incredible organizations—CALM and Man Down. We are pushing ourselves physically and mentally, just as Grant would have encouraged us to do, to turn our grief into a force for good.

Why We Are Raising Funds

We have chosen two charities that are on the frontline of the mental health crisis, specifically focusing on men’s mental health and suicide prevention.

1. CALM

CALM is a leading movement against suicide, the single biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK. They provide life-saving services for anyone who is struggling or in crisis.

 * The Helpline: Their professional helpline and webchat services answer a call for help every 59 seconds, preventing suicides every single day.

 * Support & Awareness: Beyond the frontline, they campaign to change the culture around mental health, providing support for those bereaved by suicide and ensuring no one has to suffer in silence.

2. Man Down

Man Down is a charity providing essential, informal peer-support groups for men across our communities. They focus on breaking the stigma surrounding men's mental health in a very direct, "boots on the ground" way.

 * Safe Spaces: They facilitate non-judgmental environments where men can talk openly about their struggles with others who truly understand.

 * Reducing Isolation: By creating a local network of support, Man Down helps men realize they aren’t alone, providing a vital safety net that bridges the gap between clinical help and everyday life.

How Your Donation Helps

Every penny raised will be split between these two causes. Whether it’s funding a life-saving phone call via CALM or helping Man Down open a new support group in a local community, your contribution directly impacts lives.

We miss Grant every day. By supporting these charities, we hope to honor his memory by helping others find the light in their toughest moments.

Thank you for your support, your donations, and for helping us keep Grant’s memory alive.
