The gentleman first seen in this video is Kevin Woodward.
I did not know him a year ago.
We didn’t have much in common when I did meet him - at an #Andy’s Manclub other than our mental troubles, hardship, struggles,….
One thing we DID have in common…
A vehicle to speak. An avenue whereby our worries could be spoken about safely and without fear….
Lo and behold, it turns out that he’s a good guy.
He’s has to deal with lots and has a difficult time of it all.
Just like me!
Andy’s Manclub gave both Kevin and I-
•hope
•friendship
.a safe place to be honest and to be ourselves
Turns out that this guy has - will, strength, courage and wants to give others a fighting chance and to share his story.
He’s just like me. A man - who through Andy’s Manclub now has a plan.
He hurts like me. He has worries like me…… I’m not alone. You are not alone.
Through a really hard time in life I’ve discovered that by talking and being open, that I am not alone. There’s people out there, either suffering or helping others through tough times…..or, like me, doing BOTH.
MBPC is my way of trying to pay back the world and all the good souls that gave me places like Andy’s Manclub, friends like Kevin, hope, strength and courage…
Talk. Never Give Up.
You too, whether man, woman, teenager…. Black. White. Straight. Trans. Gay. BAME. Young. Old….
Marvellous things happen when we have support and when we are ourselves…..
