Donate to Man Down UK CIC

Next month I will be doing a skydive with Eleanora Brunt for Man Down, and some of you cynical folks will say this is not exactly a hardship, and its probably something Ive always wanted to do, and you'd be right, I'm hoping to thoroughly enjoy myself, and not die. 

But the big issue is men's mental health, which cannot do with enough promotion and awareness. Isolation of men is a killer. Too many men do not know how to process and express their emotions, and the general attitude of lots of men is to keep things to themselves, often until this reaches a breaking point. Charities such as Man Down and Samaritans do a fantastic job of helping, but there is always more to do. Just talking openly and honestly to a mate, family member or a stranger, can go a long way in preventing more suicides. I personally have been in a place where I didnt know where to turn, in a situation where I did not want to carry on. I am extremely lucky to have an amazing family and some great friends that got me through, not to mention people like Ellies mum Gill, and a network of people I owe a massive amount of gratitude to. 

So if I can raise some awareness and have an awesome day out doing it, why not! 

I should say that Ellie is actually terrified of heights so this will be a genuinely brave thing for her to do, as she is bricking it already😂 but wants to draw some attention to a cause she is so passionate about, so if you dont want to donate to mine, donate to hers.

A huge thankyou if you have contributed already, and if you need someone to talk to, talk to me.
