The Medicine Ball Challenge

One in four adults experience mental illness, and many more of us know and care for people who do. Talking openly about we feel can help.

The challenge involves cuffing a 3kg Medicine Ball to my wrist for 7 days. It may not sound that heavy but being tied to the medicine ball continuously for 7 days is a significant burden. The ball becomes a physical, visual and tangible representation of the invisible burden of mental health so many of us can experience.

The challenge raises money for the following charities. Any support you can offer will be gratefully received and split evenly between the causes.

Here we go

This afternoon I picked up the Medicine Ball to start this challenge. I’m really looking forward to the ball being a place to start conversations with people around mental health 💪🏼

Time to get ready...

I'm really excited to start this challenge on 25th November. This has been a challenge that I have wanted to take part in for a few years but its never been "the right time" and then I realised that Mental Health never takes a break and its never "the right time". 

I have personally seen the fantastic work that Combat Stress & The Army Benevolent Fund do to help those struggling with mental health after serving our country. I was helped indirectly by Combat Stress when they started to work with my stepdad after he was diagnosed with PTSD after leaving the Army. They managed to help him find ways to cope with the everyday triggers meaning that he was able to be a part of our family again.
