Jude’s 10K Morun for Men’s Mental Health ❤️

I’m Jude. I’m 21 years old from Edinburgh and I’ve decided to join in on the Mo-run on the 23rd November 2024. This is something completely out of my comfort zone as I am in no way athletic or sporty and will be working towards training for this in the coming months. I want to do this to show that anyone can do anything they put their mind to and push myself physically to become a healthier and better man !!!

Why Movember ??

Movember Europe: Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men's health on a global scale, focusing on mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

The charity raises funds to deliver innovative, breakthrough research and support programmes that enable men to live happier, healthier and longer lives.

Committed to disrupting the status quo, millions have joined the movement, helping fund over 1,250 projects around the world.

This is something I feel extremely passionate about as I too have experienced mental illness issues. There was a point where I thought there was nothing left for me. Through my close family and friends, I learnt that there is more to life than what is in front of you. I am taking part in this run to prove that anyone can turn their life around, even if they thought they never could.

I don’t plan on being number one , I plan on doing the best I can and if not, I will get up and try again next time.
