Athlete cycles for suicide prevention

George Blackwell returns for challenge two

Local athlete George Blackwell is back, this time on a bike.

Continuing his campaign to raise money and awareness for male suicide prevention charity-CALM - Blackwell aims to cycle 84 miles a day for 12 consecutive days.

The timeframe and mileage represent the daily (12) and weekly (84) statistics for male suicides.

Taking place on a static bike in various locations, the cycle begins on the 17th October.

George tells us about the symbolic aspect behind his choice for challenge two.
