wow.
thank you.
on wednesday chloe and i got a bit riled up.
enough to have a bit of a rant.
the cause of us getting vexed?
doubters.
a while ago somebody who works for another charity said that within their organisation people frowned on our risk taking.
they frowned on our reputational risk taking.
saying we dream too big, saying trying to increase our ultra fun run numbers from 1080 to 6069, to represent every person who took their own life in 2023 in england and wales was too ambitious.
well maybe they’re right.
but maybe, just maybe, they’re wrong.
maybe while living this life you need to stretch your limits, and find out what you’re capable of?
so on wednesday we had a little battle cry, as our sales were quite slow.
we had however already got over double our 2024 number of runners, which would have been quite impressive, if we hadn’t aimed for 6 times as many runners this april 13th.
so, since we battle cried on wednesday we have sold over 600 tickets, taking us over 3000 to a point where we only need to sell 2968 more tickets to sell out.
can we do it?
you tell me?
you read this blog, you follow bigmoose and my journey, week in week out, what do you think is going to happen?
personally, i don’t know, but what i can say is that it won’t be for the lack of trying.
and for me there is no reputational risk, as when we hit 6069 everyone that follows us, and believes in us will love our chutzpah, and our bravery.
and if for some reason we only get to 4000 people is that a failure?
i would rather live with the pressure of trying, than live a life of mediocrity never knowing what we truly were capable of.
so follow the story, and if you want to help us reach our target, with the net return on your support being we help more people with mental health struggles, which we have proven reduces suicides, sign up here, you can take part virtually if you can’t join us in cardiff, or if you just wanna buy a 15 quid ticket because you wanna feel warm and fuzzy when we rock 6069, i have it on good authority that it is good karma!
let’s go bigmoose!!!
