Men’s Minds Matter – Tackling Male Suicide. We are passionate about men’s mental health, suicide intervention and prevention. We specialise in developing and delivering psychological interventions for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts, while also advocating for and raising awareness about male suicide. 

Hello I'm Tom and I'm going to take on the 50km in 30 days for Men's Mind Matter throughout April. I hope to exceed this.

At 19 I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. I was having suicidal thoughts but I never would go ahead with it. I had my eldest daughter on her way and my family by my side. They were my light that kept me going.

I aim to do this 50km through walking.

I've never been a jogger. I was always a sprinter.

I can almost guarantee you that you will know somebody or know of someone who has either had suicidal thoughts or has taken their own life. Often these people will battle on alone and not speak up until it's too late.

Please, all I'm asking is as little as £1 to help towards breaking the stigma behind men and their mental health and help prevent Male Suicide.

We all have a voice and we all deserve to be able to speak up without fear.

Us men shouldn't have that whole... 'You're not a man if you show emotions'.

Showing emotion and speaking up isn't a sign of weakness. It's strength.

Please support me on this 50km challenge and spread the word about Men's Mind Matter and men's suicide awareness/prevention.

I am setting an initial target of £180. £10 for every year it has been since I was diagnosed with bipolar and had suicidal thoughts.
