RIDE IT OUT!

How is it possible that we all know someone who has tragically taken their own life?

CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) exists to change this.

Fielding over 150,000 calls last year…spending more than 2.5 million minutes providing people with hope…listening, chatting and helping people to SEE A WAY FORWARD.

What we're doing...

So what are we doing to justify your support? Embarrassingly and apologetically, we’re not paddling up the Amazon using a teaspoon, or climbing Kilimanjaro in flip-flops, although we have nothing but complete and utter admiration for those that do! We’re simply 4 blokes, biking around the UK, to RIDE IT OUT.

Why Ride it Out?

We’re not only riding to raise money for CALM but also because it supports the mounting evidence that riding a bike, has significant health benefits (surprising, considering how hard some of us will be concentrating!!!).

Whether for your own headspace or to enjoy the headspace of others, riding gifts a sense of belonging, community, togetherness, kindness, banter, and most importantly, FUN!!!

The sensory overload of the elements, the vistas, the smells, and of course, the roar, makes you smile, feel happy, excited, exhilarated, and focused…the key to all our well-being.

So there you have it. There’s our pitch. If you know us personally or don’t know us at all, please don’t judge the challenge, judge the sentiment. An inexcusably large number of people, predominantly men, are taking their own lives…with the added tragedy that every suicide directly affects 135 people…but a donation from a wonderful human being such as yourselves, could provide a friendly ear, an opportunity to be vulnerable, to someone in dire need, before taking the irreversible decision of ending their lives. If we help save just one life all this will have been worth it.

Stand with us...
