A 39-year-old man from South Wales, Terry Rosoman, is gearing up for an extraordinary challenge: running 75 miles (120 km) within 24 hours to create the largest GPS art of a penis. His goal is to raise both funds and awareness for men’s mental health. Rosoman acknowledges that the provocative design is intended to capture the attention of his target audience. He remarks, “It’s a big manhood because, especially for the audience I’m focusing on, men often don’t mature.”
The planned route will take him through Bannau Brycheiniog, known as the Brecon Beacons, and he hopes to raise £5,000 for Movember, a charity dedicated to men’s mental health issues and various cancers. The run will start and finish at Abergavenny railway station in Monmouthshire, with Rosoman setting off at 5 PM GMT on Friday and aiming to complete his run by the same time on Saturday. He has chosen to begin at sunset so that he can tackle the night portion of his run first; “When the sun rises, you feel revitalized,” he explains.
Rosoman has experience with endurance events, having previously climbed Pen Y Fan ten times in a single day and completed a 50-mile ultra-marathon while carrying a weighted rucksack. However, he admits that this upcoming challenge will be the longest distance he has ever run. His drive to undertake such challenges stems from a desire to turn his life around after years of struggles with binge drinking, smoking, weight issues, and drug use.
In 2013, Rosoman found himself in poor physical and mental health and feared for his life due to his lifestyle choices. Realizing he needed a change, he took up boxing and made significant lifestyle adjustments by quitting smoking and drinking while adopting healthier eating habits. “I transformed my life completely and reached a level of happiness I’ve never known before,” he shares.
Rosoman hopes that through his fundraising efforts, other men will be inspired to pursue their own challenges. He emphasizes the importance of setting ambitious goals that provide purpose beyond everyday distractions like going out for drinks. By promoting this message of challenge and aim, Rosoman seeks to encourage others to engage in pursuits that foster personal growth and resilience.
