I have signed up for the Sheffield 10k run in September to raise money for the charity Men's Minds Matter! Having many close male friends and two brothers, I recognise the importance of raising awareness of mental health in men.
Men's Minds Matter focuses on suicide intervention and prevention...something which I have dealt with in my family. They specialise in developing and delivering psychological interventions for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts, while also advocating for and raising awareness about male suicide.
I have never run a 5k, nevermind a 10k so this is truly a challenge for me that I am excited for. I have already begun training and have found a new love for running.
Watch me do the hard work and push myself in this new challenge and support an amazing charity along the way with any donation you can spare.
