Leeds dad who has tried to take his own life four times lifts 1000kg car 107 times for men's mental health

A Leeds dad has raised hundreds in support of men's mental health by deadlifting a car weighing a tonne 107 times.

Mark Kelly, 43, has struggled with his own mental health for four years, and has tried to take his own life four times. After joining mental health support group Men In Need Together, he's keen to encourage men who are struggling to speak up.

He lifted a 1000kg Peugeot 208 107 times in just four and a half hours. 107 is the number of men who've taken their own lives in the last five years multiplied by Mark's own four attempts.
