I am running my first ever marathon on 4th of May 2025 at the Moy Park Belfast 2025 Marathon. To mark this special occasion I am fundraising for a mens mental health charity - "Men's Minds Matter".

Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK, with men making up around 75% of all suicides. Many struggle to open up about their emotions due to societal expectations of masculinity, which often discourage vulnerability. As a result, men are less likely to seek therapy or medical support for their mental health, leaving many to suffer in silence.

Men’s Minds Matter is dedicated to suicide prevention and supporting men’s mental health. Their mission is to develop tailored psychological interventions for men at risk, provide educational resources, and raise awareness of male mental health struggles. By focusing on evidence-based psychological approaches, they aim to offer effective support and intervention for those in crisis.

Their mission is to transform the landscape of men's mental health by offering crucial support and resources to those in need, aiming to end male suicide through their specialised interventions and community-based approaches.

You’re not alone; it’s okay to speak up — your mental health matters, you matter.
