My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Men's health
Mental health and suicide prevention

On average, a man commits suicide every 60 seconds. That's 60 men an hour, 1440 per day, and 525,600 over the course of the year. I nearly became a part of that statistic…

At the end of 2023, things were rough. My marriage was unraveling, my mental health was collapsing, and I felt isolated in a way I’d never experienced before. I was functioning on the outside, but internally I was barely holding on.

Around this time, my brother asked me to run the 2024 New York City Marathon with him for men’s mental health. I didn’t feel ready, or strong, or even worthy of calling myself a runner. But I said yes anyway.

Training became the place where I started to find myself again. One mile at a time, I rebuilt not just my body, but my sense of purpose. Running gave me something steady when everything else felt uncertain.

In 2025, we carried that mission forward and ran the Chicago Marathon for the same cause – raising awareness and funds to support men who are struggling in silence.

And this year (2026), we’ll take it one step further, running the Berlin Marathon together to continue this work and this conversation.

Would you donate toward this cause to prevent men's suicide and help me reach my goal of $3,000?

(All funds go directly to Movember to support this cause. I will be paying for my flights and in-country expenses personally)

Ben, your story inspires me. As a woman married to an amazing father who gave me the opportunity to be a stepmom, your story touched me in a familiar way. I started a podcast called The Stepparenting Network to give a voice to experiences like yours and to let them know that they too, can succeed and not just survive. I will send you a proper email to invite you to the podcast. It is my hope that you say yes and honor the invite to add your voice to fatherhood and empowering men in my community.

Thank you all you are doing and for your page/posts. I have been quietly battling with this mindset for months now and the only reason I won't take that path is my two young boys. They are my "why not" and I pray that all men battling this demon finds theirs.

1 in 4 women are reported to having been involved in an abusive relationship. 1 in 5 men will also have report the same. It’s important for men to speak out, to speak to other men, and to know y’all don’t have to suffer in silence. You’re a rockstar, my friend.
