Story
Man Chat is a local community, supported financially with money raised directly by Wray Thomson. The work he's done in setting up and sustaining Man Chat is nothing short of incredible. Man Chat are not an official charity and don't ask for donations, so we are going to do a "crowdfund" instead through JustGiving, which will allow all donations to go directly to Man Chat.
Man Chat offers an ear for an hour a week to anyone who comes along, allowing them to get anything they want off their chest and stop bottling it up. I've attended and can attest first-hand that guys arrive at 7pm and leave at 8pm transformed. As one guy told me, "I leave Man Chat and I'm buzzin' for days"
Dale and I will be walking on the Bennachie range over a 24hr period to crowdfund for Man Chat in memory of Marc, who would have loved to know that money was going to help others down on their luck.

5 days agoWe did it! At exactly 23 hours and 59 minutes we ran the last steps up to Mither Tap to crash out exhausted on the summit! Way into uncharted territory for me in terms of physical fitness, but buoyed by seeing the total rise all the way and chatting to friends/family basically every step of the way. Unfortunately Dale’s knee truly gave in after an heroic 7th ascent, but his son Callen made for 5 summits and Ada go for 3. Marc was close to Dale’s kids, which made me really enjoy the walk and talk with them all the way

Hi Michael and Dale, what a kind and amazing thing you've done raising cash for Man Chat and helping blokes see that it's ok not to be ok and look for peer support. Marc would have been proud.
