Globally, on average, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day.

These men are sons, brothers, fathers, and friends.

Movember has become a month where we all think about men’s health, including mental health and suicide prevention.

I’m walking and running a total of 29,032 feet (8849m) of elevation within the month of November which is the height of Mount Everest. An average of 1,000 feet of elevation a day generally means covering a distance of 5 - 8 miles up and down hills. It’s proving to be quite a big commitment!

My amazing friend Dan loved the outdoors and climbing mountains and was always up for a crazy challenge. He would have loved to be doing this with me.
