A pair of former school friends from Bristol are undertaking a 24-hour walk and talk across the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Their epic walkathon, inspired by their own experiences of mental health struggles, will run from 8am on November 30 to 8am December 1, and they plan to keep any breaks during that time to 10-minutes maximum.
Jacob Dimery and Matt Green, who have been friends since school, are no strangers to physical challenges, with the pair having undertaken numerous endurance runs in the past. Three years ago, they started doing their trials to raise money for Movember and this time is no different.
According to Jacob, they partly started their challenges as an incentive to keep themselves active during lockdown, especially when it felt like their own mental wellbeing was at stake. To reflect Movember’s evolution into a charity that focuses on both men's physical and mental wellbeing, this year they have decided to put themselves to the test with an activity that will demand a huge amount of psychological grit.
