Story
On the 16th April, Simon and Joel Cockcroft will set off on the 105 mile journey along the coast of Scotland in an attempt to conquer the Kintyre Way in 4 days.
The challenge is for 2 charities. ANDYSMANCLUB and GiveDirectly but this particular page is to donate to ANDYSMANCLUB.
We have both had to face our own battles with mental health over the last few years and want to help raise money for the cause. I (Simon) have seen the direct impact of ANDYSMANCLUB and believe it is an absolute life saver for men across the UK.
Suicide is the number 1 cause of death of men under 50. Isn’t that absolute insanity? The unfortunate reason men resort to this is that they are not good at talking with each other openly and actually expressing how they are feeling. ANDYSMANCLUB provides the opportunity for men to come together every Monday night and discuss whatever they need to in a confidential environment. I (Simon) have used this service and have seen men completely change even within the space of their first session there. This service is saving lives in the UK and absolute is worthy of being one of the supported charities for this fundraiser.
