42st man…1 million steps…Men’s Mental Health

I’m Conor Steptoe, for many years i have struggled with my weight, self confidence, mental health and self esteem and have found myself living my life confined to my home.

That is, however, until i forced myself through the mental barriers i had built and commenced my Man v Fat Journey.

Many factors contributed to this decision, all fairly significant, one factor however changed my life and my outlook of it.

8 months ago my Cousin took his life, he wasnt only my Cousin but my best friend.

The emptiness i felt and continue to feel is something nobody should go through alone and the outcome in which my cousin faced should be avoided at all costs.

That is why i am deciding to attack my weight loss with a side arm, raising money for Mind.

Mind is a mental health charity in England and Wales that provides support, advice, and campaigns to improve the lives of people with mental health problems. Providing essential services such as crisis helplines, drop-in centers, supported housing, counseling, and employment schemes….something my cousin would have hugely benefitted from had we had the chance.

So all i ask is a manageable donation and for you to be in my corner as i attempt to achieve an average daily step count 6 times higher than i currently manage.

Thank you
