We're Ryan, Dan, and Ant, three 20 something lads, from Birkenhead, who love football. 24% of women and 13% of men in England are diagnosed with depression in their lifetime. But men are three times more likely to die from suicide than women. We wanted to know why. Join us every Monday and Friday as we speak to people from the wide world of football, all about Mental Health, in an attempt to learn more about it, and encourage men to feel more comfortable talking about their health and wellbeing, and attempt to remove the stigma that still surrounds the topic.

Episode 78 - Phill Hayward
Earlier this year Phill Hayward completed the latest in a long line of physical challenges in order to raise money for Wirral Mind. This time around he had vowed in 2020 to run 10k a day for a whole year. The challenge garnered media attention locally and nationally, with Phill raising to date, just shy of £15k for the mental health charity.
On today's episode, we wanted to find out more about the motivation behind Phill's challenge, as we discussed his own mental health journey. A lifelong match day going Everton fan, we also chatted to Phill about his love of the blues, and how it has created a uniquely strong bond with his Mum.
