The Challenge
Dave and Steve will walk a 1km loop continuously for 24 hours to raise awareness for men's mental health and the life-saving work of Andy's Man Club.
This isn't just about physical endurance - it's about showing that persistence, community support, and determination can help break the cycles that trap people in silence and despair.
Every lap represents hope for someone who might be struggling. Every step shows that it's okay to not be okay, and that help is available.
Why This Challenge?
The symbolism behind walking in a loop for 24 hours
Breaking the Loop
Mental health struggles can feel like being stuck in a loop - the same negative thoughts, the same isolation, the same pain. Our challenge represents breaking free from these destructive cycles.
Persistence & Hope
Walking for 24 hours straight requires mental strength and determination - the same qualities needed to overcome mental health challenges and seek help.
Community Support
Just as Dave and Steve will support each other through the challenge, Andy's Man Club provides the community support that men need to heal and grow.
