A retired champion athlete from Northumberland who hit rock bottom and even contemplated suicide has begun an epic walk from John O'Groats to Land's End to raise awareness of men's mental health.
For 15 years, Hexham's Andy Caine was a professional sportsman - competing at the highest levels in the athletics world. But three years ago, with his marriage disintegrating and stuck in a career he didn't enjoy, his mental health suffered dramatically.
He moved back home with his parents and struggled massively during lockdown, separated from his children. But, after reaching that dark place, Andy, 45, began engaging with men's groups and has moved onto become a facilitator for them - and as he recovers he's passionate about helping others find a "more positive version of masculinity" in a changing world.
