My motivation

Fundraising for cause areas including:

Mental health and suicide prevention

Throughout grade school and early college, I was that guy silently struggling. I was a straight-A student, captain of my track and cross country teams, a seemingly happy kid, and an all-around likable guy. Because of this, I wasn’t on anybody’s radar as someone who was struggling. But I was. I was struggling to figure out who I was as a person. I struggled to understand who I was apart from my accomplishments. I struggled with my parents’ divorce. I struggled to figure out what my future would look like. I struggled with navigating through different challenges life threw at me. I struggled with suicidal thoughts. I cried a lot, but rarely in front of anyone. I can’t say this is the experience of every guy out there, but I know I’m not the only one. Thankfully, in college, I started to see the importance of being vulnerable and talking things out with other guys. It was only when I started doing this that I saw that I wasn’t alone. I saw that “me too” were the most comforting words. Even though I experienced the benefits of vulnerability, it still wasn’t easy to do. I’ve experienced a suicide attempt and subsequent hospitalization, so I’m all-too familiar with the harm that neglecting self care and thinking I can do it on my own can do. Therapy, medication, and transparency with the people closest to me have all been life savers. Globally, the rate of suicide is alarmingly high, particularly in men. In the US alone, out of all completed suicides, about 80% are men. Trends are similar all across the globe. Too many men are ‘toughing it out’, keeping their feelings to themselves and struggling in silence. I was one of them. Help me stop men dying too young.
