One in four adults experience mental illness, and many more of us know and care for people who do. Talking openly about we feel can help.
The challenge involves cuffing a 3kg Medicine Ball to my wrist for 7 days. It may not sound that heavy but being tied to the medicine ball continuously for 7 days is a significant burden. The ball becomes a physical, visual and tangible representation of the invisible burden of mental health so many of us can experience.
The challenge raises money for the following charities. Any support you can offer will be gratefully received and split evenly between the causes.

New challenge
Tmrw I will do the challenge again. This is the second time. But this time means a lot more. I’m on my second tour of the falklands, but this time has been harder. It’s winter so a lot more darker plus some mental health battles out here. It’s been a long 4 and a bit months. But I’m not gonna let it beat me but I also know when to get a helping hand. So now I would like to do this challenge one more time to give a helping hand to others.
The start.
First day today. Getting used to having the ball not getting used to the tightness of the handcuffs. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far. Means a lot.
My why
My why is that through parts of my career I have had mental health situations in dark places and I want to help and put something back. Please help me to do that with as much or little as you can give.Thank you to my Sponsors
