People Behind It
Why This

Three numbers I couldn't put down

No embellishment needed. These are the official death registration figures for England and Wales.

3 in 4

Three in four suicides registered in 2024 were men. That ratio has barely shifted in decades.

ONS / Samaritans, 2024 registrations
4,599

Men died by suicide in England and Wales in 2024, up from 4,506 the year before.

ONS, Suicides in England and Wales, 2024
50–54

The age band with the highest male suicide rate of any group. Not teenagers. Men in the middle of their lives.

ONS, 2024 registrations

Toothpaste tablets have nothing to do with suicide prevention. There's no clever link and I'm not going to invent one.

What we do have is a business, an audience, and a founder daft enough to swim, cycle and run 226 kilometres in a single day in Mexico.

The one honest overlap: Movember is a thirty-day daily habit. So is what we make. Both of them live on the same shelf, in front of the same mirror, at the same time of the morning. If a moustache makes one man ask another how he's actually doing, it's done more than most marketing ever will.

The Challenge

Ironman Cozumel · 22 November 2026

Full distance triathlon. One island, one day, 226 kilometres of it.

Days
Hours
Minutes
Seconds

Swim

3.86 km

Salt water off the Yucatán coast. Warm, clear, and a lot longer than it looks from the beach.

Bike

180.25 km

Three flat loops of the island. Roughly six hours on a saddle, most of it into the wind.

Run

42.2 km

A full marathon along the waterfront, in Caribbean humidity, on legs that have already done the first two.

Movember funds men's health work across three areas: mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. Money raised here goes into that work.

226 kilometres. £5 for every one of them.

3.86km swim, 180.25km bike, 42.2km run. At £5 a kilometre that's a £1,130 target. Give a fiver and you've covered one. Give what you like and you've covered a few more than that.
