Our Brother Leigh is Running 10 Marathons in 10 Days – Let’s Show Up for Him 💙
Leigh’s not running for fitness, he’s running for purpose. Next week, he’s taking on 10 marathons in 10 days to raise £15K for Mandem Meetup. He’s already spent his own money making this happen. Now it’s on us to back him.
Everyone, we need to chat.
This one’s serious.
Leigh Edwards - one of our day one facilitators from Mandem Meetup Wolves, is about to put his body and soul on the line next week. Man’s running 10 marathons in 10 days. That’s not a typo. TEN. DAYS. TEN. MARATHONS.

He’s doing it for us. For Mandem Meetup. For the 1,200+ men who’ve walked through our doors. For the ones we’ve lost. For every brother who’s ever sat in circle and said, “I’m not okay.”
But here’s the thing. This ain’t just a passion project – Leigh’s already dropped a lot of his own money into making this challenge happen. Kit, fuel, testing, accommodation, the lot. The goal is to raise £15,000 to keep our sessions free, buy essential gear for lads who can’t afford it, and expand the work we’re doing in Manchester and Wolves.
So far? We’ve raised just over £1,600. That ain’t cutting it. We need the mandem, the sisters, the aunties, the uncles - everyone to back this.
If Leigh can push through 10 marathons back-to-back, we can all drop a tenner, a fiver. Or even a share, init?
Let’s lift him up like he’s lifted so many others.
