Any run that’s over 70 metres and isn’t flat out sprinting and stepping is terrible therefore it only makes sense for me, after surviving cancer and constantly dealing with my own mental demons, to go way outside my comfort zone in honour of those men dealing with cancer diagnoses and mental health troubles. 10,000 metres is exactly 9,930 metres too long, I’ll need all the support I can get! 

I chose this run because Movember is the leading charity changing the face of mens health. They address some of the biggest health issues faced by men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health and suicide prevention.Movember knows what works for men, and how to find and fund the most innovative research to have both a global and local impact. Movember is independent of government funding, so they can challenge the status quo and invest quicker in what works. In 15 years they have funded more than 1,200 mens health projects around the world.By 2030 Movember will work to reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25%.We need to raise vital funds and awareness to keep this good work going.
