Fighting for Men’s Mental Health: My White-Collar Boxing Journey for MANUP

At Emerald Struts, we believe in more than just automotive innovation—we stand for causes that truly matter. That’s why I, George Ottaway, Company Director of Emerald Struts, am stepping into the ring for a white-collar boxing match to raise money for MANUP, a charity dedicated to breaking the stigma around men’s mental health. 🔗 Donate Here

Why MANUP Matters

Mental health struggles are often overlooked, particularly among men. Many suffer in silence, feeling unable to express their emotions or seek help due to outdated societal expectations. This reluctance can have devastating consequences, with suicide remaining one of the leading causes of death among men under 50.

MANUP is committed to changing this narrative by encouraging open conversations, providing essential support, and fostering a culture where seeking help is not a weakness but a strength. Their work is making a real difference, and I want to contribute in any way I can. 🔗 Help me raise money

8 Weeks of Training – The Road to Fight Night

To support this crucial cause, I have been training for the past 8 weeks with Ultra White Collar Boxing (UWCB), pushing myself to the limit to prepare for my fight on April 5th. The training has been intense, both physically and mentally, but every session reminds me why I’m doing this—to raise awareness for men’s mental health and to support those who feel they have nowhere to turn.

This isn’t just about stepping into a ring; it’s about fighting for a cause that saves lives.
