Donate to support the charity Men matter Scotland

I am Harold and with my brother Georges, I am running a half-marathon to support the charity Men Matter Scotland. My brother and I picked this charity because we believe it is crucial to raise awareness of men's mental health. Many men in the UK experience loneliness, and often suffor from this but are too afraid to express this feeling. This feeling of loneliness often results in depression or suicide. This emphasizes the importance of speaking up to family or friends and reducing the stigma around 'manning up'. The charity we have chosen supports men's mental health by running group sessions with men who are in distress. They expand men's connections and have peer to peer sessions to reduce this feeling of loneliness amongst men and to allow them to speak up.
