Car club joins fight to stop suicides
A club for customised car fans is raising money for a charity that seeks to prevent suicide among young people.
Dan Pendry-Moore, the owner and founder of SadBoiRaceClub, has pledged to donate a share of its profits to Papyrus Prevention of Young Suicide.
Dan, 31, who lives in Bromsgrove, said he had who himself battled with depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts.
He said it was the charity's preventative work which really impressed him.
"I like the fact that the charity is out there helping those who need it most during their darkest times," he said.
“Many of my customers are young men who share a love of cars but it’s a sad fact that men in particular find it difficult to share how they are feeling. Lots of blokes bottle everything up and see getting help as a sign of weakness.”
Every month the charity will receive 10 per cent of the profits from the range of SadBoiRaceClub car products, clothing and merchandise.
Dan set up the Worcestershire company in 2018 to raise awareness of mental health in the community.
He added: “I had some very dark and bad times and looking back I’m certain I was battling depression for quite a while,
“Following proper care, treatment and help I’m now a lot better than I used to be and I’m determined to encourage others to embrace their mental health and help break down the stigmas through awareness."
