Last week I had the privilege of speaking to Veteran Toby about his transition from the military and the struggles he faced
We also discussed the Med Ball Challenge my motivations to create it and what keeps me in the green for MH after loosing my wife.

Launched on International Men's Day 2018 the Medicine Ball Challenge is still raising awareness and funds helping those suffering with MH. The theme this year is male suicide, which is over three times higher than in women. The challenge continues to support those suffering.

Sometimes the biggest smiles, hide the darkest thoughts!
This is sadly so true. We have all had that day when we've slapped on a. smile to appear happy and not to be emotionally struggling.
Imagine doing this everyday for an extended period of time?

Today I took great pleasure handing over the Medicine Ball Challenge in person to Lighthouse Safety on their Charity Golf day

Iโm sorry for my off the cuff remark and choice language earlier.
I know parents are concerned. Iโve been working non-stop to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
