Story

In March 2020, six of the recruits from SAS: Who Dares Wins will be running 250km through the hot and humid rainforests of Sri Lanka. That's six marathons in five days.

Why? Because in 2018 alone, almost 5,000 men committed suicide. That's 94 men a week, 13 a day, one every two hours. Suicide remains the single biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK.

Men find it hard to be open and honest about their feelings. But we want to change the way men feel about expressing their vulnerability.

So, we're taking on this challenge to raise money for the Mental Health Foundation, and raise awareness of mental health issues and the stigma surrounding talking about them.

We believe change is possible but we all have a responsibility to help. So, if you would like to help us champion this hugely important cause, please donate. We would be grateful for anything you can spare.

Together we can make a difference. Together we can save lives.

Thank you.
