Having recently achieved a world record by being the first and only man so far to have climbed Mt Kilimanjaro carrying a fridge, I am in training for my next fundraising adventure.
The £20,482 I raised for North Staffs Mind from that challenge is being used to set up and run a weekly alliance group for men called 'Mindful Men'. It will begin in September and will offer a holistic approach to men's mental health by combining talking therapies, guest speakers and outdoor physical workshops.
I am still training most weekends with my fridge, and I still need your support to make this the most amazing men's mental welfare support group ever. Please scan my QR code whenever you pass me.
My Story ...
I decided to start hiking which improved my mental health massively and physical fitness. This is where I began to get the idea to start raising money for mental health charities and hopefully be a positive light for other people struggling with their mental health.
Since then, I have set two major events up called, Mountains for mental health.
The First one last year was climbing Snowdon with a fridge full of beer to raise awareness for mental health and raise funds for calm and secondly, this year I recently completed the UK'S national three-peak challenge whilst carrying a fridge to raise awareness for mental health and funds for Mind.
I've tried to inspire other people to get outdoors and see what benefits the outdoors and physical fitness has on your mental health.
So why the fridge, well the fridge is meant to symbolise and be a physical representation of mental health and what is it is like to carry the weight and burden if someone could see how you feel.
