Boxer Ricky Hatton’s inquest has confirmed his death was by su***de. 💔

A devastating reminder that even those who seem strong, loved, and successful can be fighting silent battles.

Here in the UK:
• 3 in 4 su***des are men.
• Su***de is the biggest killer of men under 50.
• In Greater Manchester, over 200 lives are lost each year — most of them men.

We have to talk about this. We have to check in. We have to make it okay for men to say, “I’m not okay.”

If you’re struggling, please reach out — there’s always someone ready to listen:

🖤 Samaritans: Call 116 123 (free, 24/7)
🖤 Andy’s Man Club: Free support groups for men every Monday at 7 pm — andysmanclub.co.uk
🖤 CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably): Call 0800 58 58 58 or visit thecalmzone.net

You are never a burden. You are never alone.
Let’s break the silence, together.
