Friends to cross Humber Bridge in wheelbarrows for mental health charity
A group of landscapers will attempt to cross the Humber Bridge in wheelbarrows, raising cash for a mental health Scholey, 25, along with three others, hope to complete the challenge on Saturday, taking it in turns to push and be said: "Men sometimes need that push from one another in life, and we're local landscaping lads of course." Cash raised will go to Mysterious Minds, a Hull charity that supports families affected by suicide. Mr Scholey added: "Mental health isn't really spoken about around us men and it's got worse over the years. We want to show people you can talk about it. "I'm going to start by pushing. I'll have my Weetabix in the morning. If I get tired, someone can push me." Ashley Harris, 31, who is also taking part, said: "I've known people from school who've lost their lives to mental health and we've all struggled ourselves at some point."We just want to show other men in the city it's OK not to be OK." The journey will start at 09:00 BST at Darley's pub in Hessle and finish in Barton upon Humber.
