In Episode 8, Saskia calls in former pro football player turned philanthropic endurance trail runner, Stefan van Neel. We know that most men are taught to stay quiet, endure, and carry pain alone, but Van Neel uses extreme physical challenges, like summitting many of Cape Town's mountain peaks, to open conversations about men's mental health, while raising critical funds for various cancer charities and even children's homes. Van Neel believes we should all live today as if it were the last, and make it count.
