Why We’re Raising Money

This one’s personal.

“I’ve wanted to do something like this for years, but the anxiety always got in the way. Four days in a car, no space, no escape... it played games with my head.”
— Dan, Founder of MANUP?

We’ve seen supporters push themselves to the edge to raise money for this charity. Some have genuinely broken themselves doing it. So this time, it’s on us.

In September, we’re taking on the Skinflint Rally — a four-day challenge across Europe in a car that’s barely roadworthy. No luxury. No backup. Just four of us, a clapped-out motor, and a reason to do something hard for the cause.

We won’t be booking hotels. We’ll be camping wherever we can. If that means sleeping on pavements, that’s exactly what we’ll do.

“We’ve seen what this charity means to people. It’s time we give back and put ourselves through something too.”
— Craig, MANUP? Ambassador

“I’m used to physical challenges, but this is way out of my comfort zone. I’m not a car person, so the rally is an exciting opportunity to give back to MANUP?, a charity that means a lot to me and many others.”
— Jack, MANUP? Ambassador

“I’ve seen firsthand that men do want to talk. They just need space and a bit of trust to do it. That’s why I’m here.”
— Catherine

We’re raising money to support what MANUP? does best: running retreats, backing proper research, and creating real support for men. Not tick-box stuff. Just the kind of help we all wish existed when things get tough.

If you believe in what we do, we’d be grateful for your support.
