Depression and its direst of consequences hit close to home for us recently. A young man in the prime of his life succumbing to the torment of the "black dog".
Globally, the rate of suicide is alarmingly high, particularly in men. Too many men are ‘toughing it out’, keeping their feelings to themselves and struggling in silence.
So this year, I'm growing my Mo and walking the world's toughest half marathon (the Point to Pinnacle), for Max and others like him.
Please help me stop other young men from dying too young.
UPDATE: While trying to break 3 hrs walking the 21km in the Point to Pinnacle, I just missed - finishing in 3.03.00 - DOH!! And despite coming in 16th overall and 3rd in my age group, now I have to go again next year!
But the Mo is coming along nicely. Saw Boonie the other day and his Marvellous Mo has inspired me! Pls donate
