Charity
Suicide is currently the single biggest killer of men aged 15-34 in the UK. The campaign against living miserably offers all callers information, advice and support via our helpline - currently running 4 days a week - and a website www.thecalmzone.net. We need your help so that we can provide help to men when they're down or hit a wall. And to challenge public perceptions about what being a man is. Because being silent isn't being strong

Adam Tilston's fundraising page
Hey up,
Thanks for having a look at my fundraising page. As a bit of a background, I’m entering the Liverpool Half Marathon in March which means I’ll be running around a long circuit for 13 miles non-stop in under 2 hours. That’s a lot of running.
It’s not all about me though. I’m also raising funds for the great guys over at CALM (www.thecalmzone.net). I’ve known Simon who works for the charity for a good few years now. As well as being a cracking chap, he works for a fantastic cause that was set up to reduce the suicide rates of young men, helping to reduce these by 55% on Merseyside since CALMs launch.
Also, one of my good mates from university took his own life a few years ago. He’s sorely missed and the effect it has on families and friends alike is devastating.
Have a look at CALM’s website and if you could pop a couple of virtual coins into my virtual collection pot, that’d be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Adam
