Hi, thanks for supporting me in my fundraiser. My names Josh, and after seeing friends and family struggle with mental health I've decided that I wanted to raise awareness of the hidden struggles those around us are fighting and the support networks available. I am going to complete a solo motorcycle tour, riding the coastline of the UK. I’m doing it for the charity “Andy’s Man Club”, and the tour has one main stipulation... I can’t personally pay for anything (unless absolutely necessary).
ANDYSMANCLUB are a men’s suicide prevention charity, offering free-to-attend peer-to-peer support groups across the United Kingdom and online. They want to end the stigma surrounding men’s mental health and help men through the power of conversation. #ITSOKAYTOTALK
I will ride the coast of the UK, approximately 5000 miles, relying solely on the support of strangers, to spread the message that your never alone and people fundamentally want you to succeed. The tour itself.. I am hoping that I can achieve it relying on the support of others. My plan is to spread the word through social media with my expected evening locations and hope to find local bike meets on route. I hope to have fuel and food donated locally, I don’t want online donations to support me, they should be purely for Andy’s Man Club. I have a tent and a sleeping bag and will go as far as I safely can each evening. No hotels or B&Bs will be paid for.
I hope this is a charity that people would be willing to support.
