South Powys Mind

15/06/2026

This week marks Men's Health week.

There are so many reasons why talking about Men's mental health and wellbeing is so important, not least because there is still so much stigma about reaching out for help.

Your mental health matters, no matter who you are.

There are always places to turn.

There is always support available.

This men's mental health week, we wanted to highlight not only the incredible fundraiser Izaak Duffy has organised to raise money for us here at South Powys (formerly Brecon) Mind, but the story behind it.

Because these words are so powerful.

The wonderful Izaak has organised a bike-tastic fundraiser in aid of South Powys Mind, and we are so very grateful.

Izaak says, 'On Wednesday 17 June, I’ll be riding continuous laps around Llangors Lake for 24 hours to raise money for Brecon Mind in memory of Gareth Evans — “G” or “Cheeky Ga” to those who knew him.

I’ll start from Llangors Village Hall at 6pm and keep riding until 6pm the next day.

There’s no fixed distance target anymore. The aim is simple: keep the wheels turning for 24 hours and ride as far as I can.

The loop is roughly 10 miles and I’ll pass the village hall every lap, so people can come down, wait at the hall and join in when I come through.

Ride one lap.

Ride a few laps.

Ride half a lap.

Ride through the night if you’re feeling brave.

Or just come down, say hello, bring some snacks and be part of it.

This isn’t a race and it’s not a formal cycling event. It’s just people coming together to do something positive, remember a mate and raise money for a charity doing incredible work in our community.

Come and do a Cheeky Lake Loop.'

If you can join - amazing, if you can support - thank you so very much.
