Story

THE BIGGEST AND BOLDEST WOODPECKER WOD EVENT!

The concept of these challenges has always been to get people moving more and talking more about their mental health. This next challenge is no different. It's just very extreme. 

I want to stand on top of the UK and tell the Nation it's OK to suffer, it's OK to talk. You're not alone and that we're here as a community to tell you to KEEP CHIPPIN'.

Burpeeing the whole way (8 km) up the biggest mountain in the UK would not be physically achievable without the support and care of those around me. This is no different to Mental Health as together we are stronger. 

StrongMen is an incredible charity, supporting men through bereavement. Grieving is a journey no one wants to go through and no one should have to do alone. StrongMen offer a safe place for men to express themselves and aid them through Physical pain of loss and the mental struggles of bereavement. 

When talking to The co-founder Efrem and hearing about the statics about how many of the Men suffering due to a loved ones suicide I couldn't help but want to support this amazing charity. 

August 2022 with an amazing crew i will attempt to burpee broadjump up Ben Nevis and stand on top of the UK and tell the Nation the importance of talking through their struggles.

I'm really excited and proud to have the support of Magic mountain app for this event. They have been kind enough to help me find partners and bring more awareness for this amazing charity.
