Hi Im Zack, and at the end of December I committed to running every single day for an entire year - no matter the weather, no matter how I feel, no excuses.

Why?

Because too many men suffer in silence.

Men's mental health is still something we struggle to talk about openly. Too many battles are fought behind closed doors. Too many people feel like they just have to 'get on with it' and too many lives are lost because the support isn't reached in time.

Running every day for 365 days isn't supposed to be easy - and that's the point. Some days will feel strong, some will feel heavy, some days I won't want to go, but ill show up anyway.

Because that's what resilience looks like.

Im raising money for Manchester Mind, a charity doing incredible work supporting people who are facing mental health challenges. They provide real support, real conversations and real help to those who need it most.

Every Donation - no matter how small - helps fund support services, safe spaces, and life-changing conversations.

If this challenge makes even one person open up, check in on a mate, or ask for help - it's worth it.

If you can donate, I appreciate you massively.

If you can't, sharing this means just as much.

Let's run the stigma out.

Lets make talking normal.

Let's make sure no man feels alone.
