Move for Mens Mental Health

After going through anxiety and depression, which left me lost, afraid and broken with no foreseeable way out, I reached out for help from friends and family which saved my life.

I had to understand that asking for help wasn’t giving up, but is refusing to give up! With the help from family, friends and psychology I now stand as an emotionally intelligent and psychologically flexible man.

The statistics are alarming. Globally on average one man dies of suicide every minute of every day.

I will be completing the Papamoa hills 40 times in 44 days (the height of Mount Everest) to raise funds to support Movember, who look at mental health through a male lens, focusing on prevention, early intervention and health promotion. Working towards a world where men take action to be mentally well, and are supported by those around them.

It’s time for me to give something back and change the numbers to ensure a difference is made to men’s mental health.

Thank you
