Story
Andy and I needed a goal and the run on the 28th of November seemed a good date back in September. Now this has become a bit bigger.... we were joined by all the above and even more who didn't make it onto the poster. And special thanks to Vincent who provided invaluable running tops for the group.
Everyone's health is important - but this month is about men's health. In particular the Movember movement (Moustache-November) is raising money for suicide prevention, mental health, prostate and testicular cancer.
Ever since I volunteered for Samaritans I was concerned about suicide rates. Did you know: more people die of suicide than all other deaths related to violence (including all wars and terror attacks combined).
