4520 MEN ATTENDED LAST NIGHT…

460 for the first time ❤️

We’re only scratching the surface and we won’t stop 👌

When my Mum died, her last days were spent in Overgate Hospice. The care and support for her and us was invaluable. As a small token of thanks, I am running the Run Cumbria Solway half in June. If you can spare a few pennies to support, my page is here:

We are often told men don't talk, but I wonder really whether it is often that we don't ask - there has already been an incredible response to my survey and I am still recruiting. Please do RT and share if you can :)
