My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Men's health
Prostate cancer
Testicular cancer
Mental health and suicide prevention

I love to run. Running distracts me and helps me prioritise things. It helps me organise my thoughts. I realise there are others just like me. Dealing with their own demons. Gritting their teeth. Going up that hill. And so, I use running and swimming and cycling to bring awareness to mental health. I like to thing of it as using my feet to do good. To do something for others. To mean something. A personal challenge. A desire to use my own sadness, anxiety, depression, demons to help others that experience the same thing, and to show them that is ok not to be ok.

Completed first 100km run at Race to the Stones in June 2023
Completed 3 half Ironman's in May, June and Sept 2023
Completed first full Ironman (3.8km swim, 180km bike and 42km run) in Sweden in August 2023

I hope that my story inspires others to challenge themselves and attempt something that seems impossible.

Gerhard, you're dedication to this cause is inspiring. Although improvements are being made, there is still somewhat a stigma around mental health. Thank you for continuing to raise awareness of it. If it helps just even one more person to speak out, then it's a job well done.

Wowza! as of the close of Movember we as a global team raised.... OVER £5000 !!!!

To everyone who donated, to everyone who took part, to those who shared the message, and to those who read something about Movember - THANK YOU! You are awesome! Give yourself a massive pat on the back and enjoy a smug grin for being part of something special

I'll be hunting down a razor blade later. Its been emotional. We should do this again some time. Say, in 11 months or so!
