If you are reading this and know me, I'm sure you are thinking this is some sort of joke/what on earth would make "Mike the slob" plod around London for 26 miles. Well, let me say this will be a sight to behold and is not a joke - I'm really doing it!!
Suicide has changed the lives of many people around me forever - so anything I can do to raise awareness and help this wonderful charity keep doing the amazing things they do is more than worth the blisters!
See below for more about the amazing charity CALM and what they do:
The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is leading a movement against male suicide, the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK. Their goal is a life less miserable for you, your friends, your family and for all men.
