Mush Cade - runs 170 miles a week, fighting his mental illness
We see this guy running in our local area, in all weathers! What's his story?
Well:
Hello everyone, my name is Mush Cade. I am 37 years old and have been suffering with a Mental illness for over 15 years, everyday is still a fight for me to live in this world. I was 17 stone, on all sorts of medication and had lost the will to live, I was at rock bottom. I fought back, stopped taking my medication and one day decided to start running. My first run was less than half a mile and almost killed me lol, since that day I continued, a bit like Forest Gump. I upped ...my pace and distance daily and now run more than Mo Farrah a week, seriously I run more than 170 miles a week. Running is the only thing that keeps me in this world, I have no social life, I cannot work due to severe Mental Health issues but I'm hoping to get my life back on track in the future. With your help I would like to raise some money so I can seek private medical health treatment. I've been seen by many NHS doctors and I'm still in the same dark place. I also want to donate some of the money to a mental health charity to help others. I have tried to take my own life multiple times, I don't want to get to this stage again, I'm getting stronger, all the support and love I have received has made me see that I can hopefully pull through and lead a good life in the future. I'm in a rut and I need to get out of it. Anything will help. Lets see where this goes, maybe one day I could be over this leading a normal life, working a normal job, being a normal person again. I'm also very interested in setting up a running camp/club where other people who can relate to this story can come along and socialise. I love you all, please be safe out there when looking at my calfs, don't be crashing lol xxx
Help spread the word!

Using depression to guilt people into financing his life. Shame.

Really? That seems a very odd way to look at it. Asking for help is admirable, I reckon. Good luck to him!

What exactly are you dealing with?

He's not me! No idea what his actual issues are.

Oh man! Give the guy a break. It's not as if you _have_ to donate! He makes people smile, he's a good guy.
