I am excited, apprehensive and a little nervous to be taking part in a sunset hike to the summit of Snowdon on June 14th to support the charity Men’s minds matter.
This charity provides support in the prevention of suicide in men. In 2014 76% of suicides in the UK were men. The leading cause of death in the UK is suicide in men under the age of 50.
Men’s minds matter provide vital research and training in the prevention of suicide in men, training clinicians, carers, families and friends.
Men are less likely to talk about their mental illness and therefore more likely to go undiagnosed by their GP.
This is a subject close to my heart having affected myself and my family. This is why I want to raise awareness and fundraise for this vital charity.
I would be very grateful if you lovely people could spare some pennies to support this amazing charity and my hike up to the summit of Snowdon. Thank you😊🏔️🥾💙xxx
