But this achievement is not just about physical endurance; it's a powerful symbol of Albie's dedication to raising awareness about mental health and suicide. Having battled depression on three separate occasions, Albie has turned his life experiences into a force for good. 🌟 "I've always thought about ways of how I’m going to do that, how I want to achieve it…What better way than attach a world record attempt to it."
