84km for 84men: Ultra-marathon for Mental Health
As a man under the age of 50, the mostly likely thing that's going to kill you... is you.
84 men take their own lives every week in the UK and 3 out of every 4 suicides is male.
These are devastating statistics and behind every number, is real man with a real story.
These are husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, uncles and friends.
We are running 84km to raise awareness of these 84 men and to raise money for mental health!
KINGS has put together a team to run the trail ultra-marathon 'Race to the Tower' (https://www.racetothetower.com/) on June 8th 2019.
We are running to raise awareness of mental health and inspire others to challenge themselves.
The grueling 52 mile (double marathon) trail run with a climb of 7,476ft (twice the climb of Ben Nevis) will all be in aid of raising money for Bristol Mind. Mind aim to make sure no one has to face mental health problems alone.' (https://bristolmind.org,uk).
This will be the first ultra marathon we have completed so follow us (Abi, Blue, Paul, Sam) through our training and help support this important cause.
