"Why I'm running 5000 miles around the UK" - Paul Minter of Head-Up Charity

Send us a text


Head-Up Charity is a mental health organisation founded by four
British Military Veterans with over 50 years of experience
serving their country, including 11 operational tours. Their aim
is to build a retreat where serving and ex-serving personnel can
go to learn the tools and methods utilised by the founders to
help them through the difficult transition process from military
to civilian. This process can be quite challenging, and some
people never really recreate their identity and higher purpose,
which can lead down a dark road which has resulted in many mates
and colleagues taking their own lives.

Paul is a veteran of numerous deployments to Iraq and
Afghanistan, and has battled his own demons. In the first episode
we recorded together over a year ago, he shared some of those
struggles, the impact of declining mental health, and what he did
to overcome those demons and get himself to a place mentally
where he was no longer suicidal. Listen to that episode here:

The challenges of covering an average of 30 miles per day

The unanticipated benefits of meeting with, and staying with
strangers that have opened their homes to feed and house Paul
along the journey

The vision for Head Up Charity in the not too distant future

"I shouldn’t be in the position I am right now."


The odds were stacked against me:


Poor family on welfare, eldest of 6 kids, parents didn’t work,
abusive step-dad, no electricity or running water for a 6 years
period of my life


Caught up with the wrong crowd, stealing, drugs, skipping
school


At 14 years old, I sat on a bus for 3 days with $50 in my
pocket, to travel to the next State over West, to begin a new
life in the workforce - 2000

14 - 20: I grew up and learned how to become a man through work
and rugby
20 - 26: I lived, trained and fought as a professional soldier,
at a high level
26 - 32: I became a personal trainer, after failing in my pursuit
to become a firefighter
32 - 38: I worked with, and won world titles with some of the
best athletes on the planet, as their strength and conditioning
coach
38+: The next evolution begins
