‘As long as the ties that bind us together are stronger than those that would tear us apart, all will be well’

You probably know a version of me....but chances are you don't know the 'real' me. Social Media pressures us into creating a false self, a persona, a mask behind which we hide our true selves. Posting only the highs, editing out the lows. Over time we can lose our way 📍

My name is Luke, I'm a recovering addict of 9 years. I lost my mother to Breast Cancer and my Father to Alcoholism. And yet I'm still here. I've battled various Mental Health issues since the passing of my Father. For the longest time, I felt I could not talk about, nor share my pain. I suffered in silence for over 4 years. I wrongly assumed that no one would catch me if I fell, that no one wanted to hear my sh!t, that no one truly cared. I felt like the message from the world was: Life's tough, get on with it 🤬

I couldn't have been more wrong: Over time and with a great deal of help from other addicts, I changed my world view. I'm now ready to help others restore their faith in The Human Condition. One MF-ing Burpee at a time 🏋️‍♂️

I'm doing 5,000 Burpees in one sitting, looking to achieve the fastest time possible. I'm doing this to start conversations. Hopefully honest and open conversations, about Mental Health 🗣🧠

I want to help create a world where no one has to suffer in silence due to Mental Health Issues. A more honest, understanding world. A world where empathy, open mindedness and kindness take precedent over profit, likes, trends and division 🌍❤️

Help me in anyway you can and reach out if you need to chat to someone about your mental health! I’m all ears👂

Any donation, no matter how small, is gratefully received!🤑
