Tough Enough To Care
Brattys 84 day challenge
Fundraising for Tough Enough To Care
Story
The 84 challenge:
84 males complete suicide each week in the UK. This alarming figure can be reduced by removing the stigma that surrounds male mental health.
The aim of the 84 challenge is to raise awareness for male mental health and to create a conversation about it. Every penny raised is put straight back into providing mental health support for those who desperately need it whilst also running continuous volunteer training and awareness talks for communities, workforce’s and clubs.
As the founder of Tough Enough To Care, I have tried to think of a personal challenge that can be completed around working a full time job, running TETC and spending time with my family. To some, this may not seem like a challenge, but to those that know me, this is going to be one of the toughest challenges I could possibly face.

Proving just how far i am willing to push myself to provide support for others.
