2 Marathons, In 2 Days...

And in the 9 hours, I'll be completing those 2 marathons, 540 men will have taken their own life with 60 men taking their own lives every hour around the world.

In the name of Movember – Jay Bhuttae, Josi'ah Mace, Tom Vickers, Jack Reynolds, Adam Aladay and John McAreavey will be attempting to grow some lovely-looking moustaches. Ryan Kelly, Ryan Walker and Thomas Stones will be running 60km across the month, and Liam Tobin has dyed his hair pink.

And for some reason, I've decided to run two marathons in two days.

It's not quite sunk in yet and it'll be one of my toughest challenges yet, both physically and mentally, but I'll push through, and it's for a great cause.

Movember is a leading charity doing some amazing work to change the face of men’s health focusing on issues including:

- Mental health and male suicide prevention - 3 out of 4 suicides in the UK are by men.

- Prostate cancer – 1 in 8 men in the UK will be diagnosed in their lifetime.

- Testicular cancer - the most common cancer among men.
