We have decided to run the Seville Marathon to help raise awareness and support for Two Pints Deep - an amazing men's mental health community that was created by one of our close friends, Luke Barrow, following struggles with his mental health after sadly losing his mum to Cancer back in 2019.
Luke found himself finally communicating to his mates about his feelings, but only after a few pints. He is now determined to support men who might be feeling the same way, by encouraging conversation to eventually enable more men to talk about their feelings, without the need of ‘two pints’.
Men's mental health is often overlooked, yet it is a critical issue that affects millions of men worldwide. Far too many men suffer in silence, facing struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges without the support they need.
We’re raising funds for Two Pints Deep, an organisation dedicated to breaking the stigma surrounding men’s mental health and providing vital resources, support, and education for men in need.
Why This Cause Matters
- 1 in 8 men experience mental health problems, but men are significantly less likely to seek help than women due to societal pressures and stigmas.
- Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under the age of 45, with the rate being higher in certain demographics, such as veterans and young men in lower-income communities.
- Many men feel they need to "tough it out," and the fear of judgment or misunderstanding prevents them from reaching out for help.
Any support, big or small, can help change the narrative around men’s mental health and ensuring that men have access to the resources, therapy, and peer support they deserve.
