After having recently losing a childhood friend to suicide I've decided to step back in the ring again for VCBC 9 to help raise awareness and money for Dorset Mind so they can help people get over their demons. 

Society and history tells us that men aren't meant to be emotional or should 'Be Tough' and not show their emotions... bull s**t. It's time we stop being scared of other people's opinions and put our own health first. People who know me will know that this sort of event is not my usual thing but that's exactly why I'm doing it. We need to challenge peoples concepts and our selves to make a change for the better. 

Dorset Mind is a pioneering mental health charity that educates, challenges stigma and inequality and promotes recovery from mental ill health. We empower individuals to understand the recovery process and assist them to develop resilience.Dorset Mind provides recovery and resilience-focused support groups across Dorset that aim to educate people about the mental ill health and support people to identify and develop coping skills. We also run an accredited befriending service and offer volunteer roles.Thank you for your support!
