I’m starting my challenge on Sunday 9th May at 6am and will finish at 6pm on Saturday 10th may. This is going to be the toughest challenge I’ve ever done but I promise I’ll smash it. State of mind sport helps people/businesses and communities break down the stigma around mental health and give men the opportunity to open up and realise it’s a strength not a weakness to speak about there issues. Everything raised will go straight back into education sessions for schools, colleges and grassroots clubs around the country. The point of the 40/120 challenge is to highlight the numbers of people every year who take their own life around the world. In 2020, 800,000 people around the world who take their own life and this means one person every 40 seconds takes their own life. State of Minds roots are based in rugby league and union and during any game of rugby there will be 120 people around the world who take their own life.That is why the 40 (40 seconds) 120 (people taking their own life during every 80 minute rugby game) challenge is being attempted.There are a number of ways you can attempt this challenge to suit your own limits to raise money for State of Mind Sport www.stateofmindsport.org1.40 hours walking /running / cycling 120 miles2.40 hours walking /running / cycling 120 kilometres (75 miles)3.40 days to walk 120 miles (3 miles or 5km per day)4.40 miles walking / running / cycling in 120 hours (5 days)You can mix and match as many variations of 40/120 to suit your own needs
