King of the Castle – Sean Kelly Sportif 2024

Sean Kelly ‘King of the Castle’—a sportive cycling event dedicated to breaking the stigma around men’s mental health.

Neglecting men’s mental health jeopardises the well-being of families, workplaces, and communities. When men are discouraged from expressing vulnerability, seeking help, or even acknowledging their mental health, it perpetuates a culture of silence that fosters isolation.

Men, like anyone else, deserve the space to articulate their struggles and to seek help without fear of judgment. By dismantling the stigma surrounding men’s mental health, we cultivate an environment where emotional expression is not a sign of weakness but a testament to resilience.

Cycle Against Suicide seeks to address the culture of silence by encouraging emotional expression and promoting resilience. By tackling stigmas, especially those related to male vulnerability and the higher rates of suicide among men, we provide a platform for men to articulate their struggles without fear of judgment.

Join our Sean Kelly ‘King of the Castle’ Sportive and come out in support of a society that values, supports and celebrates men’s mental wellbeing.

This event is open to men and woman, and of all abilities. Women's involvement provides invaluable perspective and encouragement, promoting integral wellness for all.
