I’m taking on a challenge for Men’s Minds Matter, the suicide prevention specialists.

75% of all deaths by suicide are male, and a man or boy kills themselves every two hours in the UK. Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under the age of 55 (I'll be 56 in May).

Every pound donated to this fundraiser will help keep men and boys alive.

Social media company ‘On The Tools’ found that 73% of the UK's 2.1 million construction workers have been affected by mental illness. In the last decade 7,000 have taken their own lives.

Men’s Minds Matter is a charity close to my heart. They provide counselling support and suicide interventions, as well as training mental health professionals to prevent suicide. Men’s Minds Matter also direct research to help to make suicide a thing of the past.

I am hoping that you are able to help me raise as much money as possible for this amazing cause and help men and boys in the UK.  If you could contribute anything to my fundraising, that would be brilliant, if you are able to volunteer, that also would be fantastic!
