Impeccable timing...it's almost as if I planned this... Exactly 3 years ago today I collected a big flex whilst raising awareness for mental health issues, suicide prevention and Kelly's Heroes, by summitting the Mont Blanc. Since then I have been on a mission to improve my own health and wellbeing by setting myself challenges that pushed my limits both physically and mentally. In January of this year I wondered whether it was possible to train for, and complete an Ironman Triathlon in 10 months with zero prior triathlon experience, and then set myself the challenge to do so. Whilst i had managed to improve my health and fitness over the past 4 years, when I started training in January I hadn't swam since I was 11, and I hadn't owned a bike since I was 13. The journey so far has been nothing short of incredible, and as expected completely mentally challenging, having to juggle family and business as well as having to continue to train rain or shine, with multiple injuries, and more recently having Covid. Since January I have ran 530 miles, biked 1750 miles and swam 93,150 yds. With 6 weeks left, I will again be looking to raise awareness and much needed financial aid to support the amazing work everyone at Kelly's Heroes does, and I would be eternally grateful to any of my LinkedIn connections and followers if they could support my challenge and the cause by donating a small amount to my Just Giving page: https://lnkd.in/d98uHevp If you are a Strava user then you can follow my training here: https://lnkd.in/diEAZTJy Also, please come along to the 'Amazing Northampton Run' aka the Northampton Half Marathon on September 15th where myself and the Dufeu team will be the main sponsor and also taking part.

Could not be prouder of how far my little brother has come in the last 2 years. It took for him to hit rock bottom to realise the changes he had to make in his life. Now 2 years sobre he’s living life to the fullest. Always had a massive love of music and the outdoors, his latest venture up Ben Nevis this weekend 💪🏻 He would not be here without Kelly's Heroes and is taking on the kilimanjaro challenge to raise vital funds for them to continue saving lives. Please help me to support him now in smashing his target🙏 https://lnkd.in/eic-eax9 #MentalHealth #KellysHeroes #Kilimanjaro2024

Two-thirds of people who die by suicide are not in touch with mental health services in the year before they die, but they are almost certainly in touch with a frontline service like their GP, other NHS services, education, or social services. This means that services like these can play a vital role in identifying people who are experiencing suicidal thoughts and helping them reach the right support. With the right training and support frontline public workers can be potential lifesavers, and more people can get the support they need at the right time. We're calling on the Government to roll out suicide prevention training to all frontline workers.

To all my contacts, I have a FAVOUR to ask if I may……… Please take the time to read….🙏🏻🙏🏻 Some of you may or may not know but in just over 3 weeks’ time, I will be embarking on an opportunity of a lifetime by climbing Kilimanjaro to help raise vital funds for Kelly's Heroes The Challenge! 💪🏻🧗 Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain above sea level in the world at 5895m (19,341 ft). This immense opportunity will be both physically and mentally challenging and will push me to my limits. I will be away from home for 10 days in total, the aim is to reach the summit at 5895m in 6 days, whilst also trying to acclimatise to the altitude, which is one of the biggest challenges. There are no hotels, no warm showers, and no home comforts. Each day will consist of making it from one base camp to the next, setting up our tents, and going full-out Bear Grylls style to make it to the summit and back down again. I cannot wait to see what I am made off!!! Why am I doing this! I am taking on this monumental challenge to help raise much-needed funds for the charity Kelly’s Heros!! Kellys Heros is the new name for the ‘We Mind & Kelly Matters’ charity which was formed in 2019 by founders John Hewitt, Rachael Hewitt and Amy Hewitt after the devastating loss of their daughter and sister Kelly following her struggles with mental health. Unless you are affected or know someone struggling with Mental Health its difficult to understand. There is still a stigma associated with it, leaving many to suffer in silence. The charity aims to raise awareness and help prevent suicide. The money raised with be used to deliver and develop more support services to those who are in need, but also to support family and friends of those who have lost a loved one to suicide. Staggeringly, we know that around 7000 people in the UK take their own life!!! That’s 135 people every week!!! This is heartbreaking to read and see; we need to do something about it! Kellys Heros are doing just that and with the support and help of the people. Kellys Hero’s can help grow and develop much-needed essential services to help and support people who are struggling!! Please see link to there website for those that are struggling https://lnkd.in/eYFHgyRx They offer a listening ear or live chat every day for those that feel they need someone to listen to them along with lots of other support services. The FAVOUR 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I need your help to raise some much needed funds please!! Please if anyone could donate it would be greatly appreciated. This charity is an amazing charity, and it means a great deal to me. The charity needs our help to support people in a crisis and family and friends who have lost loved ones by suicide. Wish me luck!!!🫶🏻 https://lnkd.in/eK7K7qE5
