Monotony. Dread. Loneliness. Pain. Darkness. Doubt. Fear. Fight. Shame.
Everything that this project represents, and sadly, what thousands of men suffer from in silence every single day.
This doesn’t have to be the case.
We all have our own uphill battles to face, but there is no reason for us to fight them alone.
I will be open, I will be honest, and I will be vulnerable for the sake of progress - as we all should be.
We need to take a stand against stigma, a stance against shame, and galvanise a genuine, positive change for the sake of people everywhere. We need to open our hearts and minds and wrap our arms around each other creating supportive community and surrounding ourselves
So please share far and wide, donate where you can, and most importantly, start those conversations that could save your life, or that of another... Details on how you can be more directly involved to follow!
Some people will call this insane, foolish, potentially worse... But you know what’s truly insane? The fact that so many men choose death over honesty.
Take it from someone who’s been there - be a man of more words, as talking saves lives.
Why REORG
The mission at REORG Charity - We create safe environments through CrossFit & Jiu Jitsu programs for veterans, military & emergency services to support their physical and mental well-being. To help those who helped us.
Given my love for BJJ and all it has given me, in moments and times when all felt lost. The strong bonds created through community and shared goals and the work REORG do for our veterans and blue light communities, there could be no other choice for how I wish to direct funding and action.
Please do dig deep, no matter how big or small.
Your help changes lives.
