Raising awareness for men’s mental health and domestic abuse
Donation protected
UPDATE…..
i will be taking on the challenge for a second time on the 25/08 as the first attempt had really bad wether. I did complete the route but missed the thrill of the views and exposure of the ridges hight, and due to the conditions I did attempt the third pinnacle but slipped 3 times luckily at low levels so decided it was too dangerous also 2 very experienced climbers behind me also said it’s to dangerous even for them so around the edge we went.
Hello people and welcome to my money raising and awareness of these lesser spoken about victim’s.
I think it’s a crime that this day and age there is little to no help for men STILL!!!
so here’s my crazy ideas/ punishment for a unfit, unhealthy heavy smoker 40 year old dad of 2.
I’m a male survivor of domestic abuse and coercive control. I suffered physical mental and financial abuse form my ex partner for 14 years and finally built up the coverage to leave her in 2019.
since then I’ve been on a rollercoaster of a ride when I left I had almost 30 false allegations made about me by her. I was unable to see my child for a year. I had to travel every other weekend and on demand the length of the country to collect and see my son whenever she wished or demanded, I finally went back to court and won full custody of my son.
The main issue I found was there was not enough support out there for male victims or sufferers of abuse and also very few men even report it and the few that do report the abuse are sometimes not believed or taken seriously by the authorities.
Now I’m left with (CPTSD) which is complex post-traumatic stress disorder.
Its a proven fact that men don’t talk enough and suffer in silence.
(I was one of those)
It came to a point where I almost ended my life because of the pain I was going through and I could not see any other option.
Luckily enough I managed to find a way out and get help and now although I’m not 100% I am in a much better place and also happy.
unfortunately, some men are not so lucky. if I can stop one man from ending his life I feel it would be worth while.
Males continued to account for three-quarters of suicide deaths registered in 2022 (4,179 male deaths; 1,463 female deaths)
the money that is raised will be used to help raise awareness of this and also support the few charities that are out there that help.
there will be a post that will be pinned to a ticktok page where men in the uk Can find the the names of places for help and support for men.
WHAT I WILL DO
me a 40 year old unfit bloke is going to conquer the crib goch ridge and then continue to the summit of Snowden.
now please understand I’m in no way a total novice to this sort of activity and in my younger years I was let’s say extremely fit and well trained. (20 years ago)
im not underestimating this route at all and I have remembered the 7 P’s (military joke)
so I’m well prepared. Please have a look at this video to get a idea what I’m up against.
please give what you can and I will provide updates on the climb. I’m hoping it will be happening in the next couple of weeks. Thank you for your time
