7 Marathons in 7 days
From 7 – 13 March, I will be running 7 marathons in 7 consecutive days to raise money and awareness for men’s mental health.
I have been running marathons for a couple of years now, and was looking for a bigger challenge. I couldn’t think of a better challenge than one that raises much needed funds and awareness for men’s mental health.
The more conversations I have with mates or family, or hear about what’s going on in the world, the more prevalent I realise this issue is. It is terrifying to think about the number of people struggling in silence, and feel that they have no one to go to, and that suicide is the only option. I hate the thought that this could happen, or be happening, to my friends, family, or anyone else out there. So, enough is enough.
Even if you can’t donate, I hope this challenge starts conversations, because it can take one conversation to save someone’s life.

We are a charity focused on supporting blokes mental health. We do this through running a series of community based events, including Walk for a Bloke and Challenge for a Bloke.
Funds raised via these events are being used to fund two core Spoke to a Bloke Projects;
M.I.N.D.S – The MEN IN NEED OF DIGITAL SUPPORT project is an initiative to bring together a wide range of mental health experts, knowledgeable individuals and everyday blokes to create 24/7 help content aimed at supporting adult and younger men.
121 – The 121 project will deliver direct professional help for blokes that need financial assistance and reach those that need it most.
In addition to our projects, our events also serve as medicine. We enable blokes to be active, to connect, to share, to listen, to learn and to share in events to help build resilience through action.
