Kevin Bowman

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.

ABF The Soldiers' Charity

Combat Stress

Pick up the medicine ball, 'Mr Bowman'.....now keep running and do not fall back

Why Me; Why SHAPE?

SHAPE Belgium is the NATO Military HQ and had 30 Allied forces looking at the example we (UK) set. Step forwards together and keep checking our buddies.
