Fourtitude - Chris Quirk

The Fourtitude Challenge · 4 September 2017 to 7 September 2017 ·
Have you or someone you know suffered from a Mental Health issue?
If yes then please read on!
Did you know the number one cause of death in males under the age of 50 is suicide?
Did you know 1 in 4 people suffer from a Mental illness?
Quite scary facts!! This year I have been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to take on a humongous physical and mental challenge which will provide me with a platform to help raise the awareness of Mental Health in the UK and the great things the charity Mental Health UK do for our communities.
Below details a little it about the challenge I have been set:
On the 4th September I will be travelling to Lancaster, where I will embark on the first of a 4 day event! Day 1 will begin with a mental challenge before we embark on a series of tough physical challenges during days 2, 3 & 4.
Day 2 will see me and my colleagues climb Scafell Pike - The highest peak in England! A quick decent followed by a trip to Macclesfield before we begin day 3 and the next challenge which awaits us.
Day 3 involves a 100 mile cycle through the peak district with a 4000' elevation before we arrive in Solihull!
Day 4 - Another early start as we begin our final day, a Half marathon awaits us which will takes us into Birmingham City centre and across the finish line....Hopefully!
The challenge looks tough, but this is nothing compared to what some friends, family, colleagues and people within our communities are currently dealing with, Please Donate and help me raise funds for this great cause.
The £2500 fundraising goal will enable Mental Health UK to employ and train a Mental Health advisor and provide 3 weeks of support to our communities.
If we achieve our team fundraising goal of £250,000 this will enable Mental Health UK to employ 7 full time permanent Mental Health advisors - Providing support and advice to our local communities.
