Our Motivation

Every day, millions of men silently carry the weight of battles no one around them can see — poor mental health — and the world keeps telling them that's just how it's supposed to be. We've both lived through seasons of darkness, collapse, and struggle, and we know firsthand that isolation is where suffering deepens and growth goes to die. So we decided to do something loud about a crisis that thrives in quiet — running the world's highest-elevation ultramarathon at 16,637 feet to prove that hard things done in the open can change how men relate to their own minds. Two ordinary guys, one record attempt, and an unrelenting commitment to starting the conversations that men's mental health desperately needs.
