Ride Run 300

The Challenge

Men United Peterhead is at an important juncture in its history. To this point it has been led and maintained by dedicated volunteers. But the need is pressing, time is short, Men United now need to take the bold step to recruiting its first full time worker to oversee the development, growth and sustaining of the organisation. As well as seeking to generate income through grant and trust fundraising, investment from local businesses that believe in our mission, and through spot purchasing from local services of the organisations services, Men United hopes to build a base of committed individual supporters who partner with the organisation through a one off or regular donation.

To get the ball rolling on the last part of the organisations income generation strategy, I’m getting the wheels rolling by taking part in a 600km duathlon throughout November.

RUN RIDE 300 is exactly what it says on the tin really. I will be aiming to run 300km and cycle 300 km (on a spin bike) by the end of November. November is an important month in the calendar for mens health. Movember has led the way in setting it aside to help raise awareness of those health issues that all too often guys don’t talk about – Mental Health is one of those.

Do get behind the November campaign in general by sharing posts on social media. Please also consider supporting Men United Peterhead in its mission to challenge the stigma surrounding men’s mental health and support our friends, brothers, sons, husbands when they need it most.
