Hi guys 👋
So myself and Charlie have set ourselves a big challenge, next year (date not yet confirmed) we will be walking 24 miles of beautiful Cornish Coast in 1 day.
We are setting this challenge in memory of my Dad who we sadly lost to mental health in 2019, as you can imagine as a family we struggle every day with our grief and loss.
Mental health affects so many people over the world, but unfortunately Cornwall has seen a massive increase in suicides especially in males over the last few years.
I have followed Man Down for many years and Ross and his team have done some incredible work for our men in the community. Providing a safe and private place for men and their mental health. Their important work on stopping the stigma around mens mental health and even more so important working hard to reduce the ever growing rate of male suicide.
We’ve chosen Man Down as our charity to raise as much money as we can to keep them going, and to help other families avoid going through what we as a family have been through.
My dad absolutely loved walking miles and miles you may have often found him walking from Liskeard to Looe towing along my mum, brothers and the family dogs. Somehow I always managed to miss those - darn 😂.
We have got a an amazing big raffle coming up to help raise funds, local businesses have been beyond kind with their donations. So keep your eyes peeled.
So as we begin our hiking training to get us fit and healthy for the big challenge, we will have a private page where we will post update as much as we can.
I refuse for my dad and all our loved ones who lost their battle to become a statistic.
