Meet Your Walk Leaders
Introducing Carl & Martin, two British advocates for mental health whose personal journeys inspire their work in supporting others, all while embracing life in Switzerland. Carl has lived here since 2002. A vinyl lover and former rugby player, he now coaches rugby to kids and believes coffee solves most of life’s challenges. Since 2018, he has led a support group in Vevey called Blokes and Black Dogs, creating a safe space for men to connect and share their experiences. Martin is driven by his experiences of witnessing his mother’s struggle with schizophrenia and his own battles with depression and PTSD. He advocates for mental health and prevention, living in the Zurich hinterland with his French wife and Italian rescue dog, Louie. He is also the host of the monthly Zurich edition of 'Blokes & Black Dogs'. Allegedly, he makes THE best burger you'll ever taste.
FAQ
WHY IS THE WALK JUST FOR BLOKES?
It also serves as medicine, enabling blokes to be active, to connect, listen, learn and to share in the walk and building resilience through action. We recognise wives, girlfriends, sisters, mothers and mates play an important role in blokes lives and welcome the women in your life to join as a supporter (see ticketing option) or a volunteer (contact bec@spoketoabloke.org).
