Finley Davies - Movember
Name: Finley Davies
Dept: Communities
When: Throughout November 2025
Where: Carmarthenshire
What: Running 60km over the month of November
Why: Men’s mental health is a silent crisis. Every year, thousands of men struggle with anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges—often in silence. Societal expectations and stigma can make it harder for men to seek help, leading to isolation, untreated illness, and tragically, suicide. In fact, suicide remains one of the leading causes of death among men, especially those under 50.
By raising money, I aim to support vital services that provide men with access to therapy, crisis support, and community outreach. These funds will help break down barriers, promote open conversations, and ensure that no man feels alone in his struggle. Together, we can create a future where mental health is treated with the same urgency and compassion as physical health.
Let’s stand up, speak out, and support the men in our lives—because mental health matters.
