Cooper Berry’s 365-Day Run Raises Mental Health Awareness

Cooper Berry, a 23-year-old marathon runner from Woodbridge, Suffolk, is running at least 7.5 miles every day in 2025 as part of a 365-day challenge to raise funds for Suffolk Mind. He has recently completed his 100th day and is determined to complete the full 2,721-mile journey.

Berry, a running coach, struggled with anorexia for six years, beginning at age 11. His goal for the year-long challenge is to encourage more people, especially men, to speak out about mental health. “I’m lucky to be here today, but many people still suffer in silence. I want to get more men talking about their feelings,” Berry said.

He pointed to the tragic fact that 12 men take their own lives every day in the UK, which is why the number 12 is so significant in his mission. “Even something as simple as going for a run can help,” he added, emphasizing the importance of creating meaningful connections and being open about emotions.

Berry, who ran a marathon in just 2 hours and 24 minutes, was inspired to start this challenge after the suicide of a close friend during high school. “I’ve always wanted to do a charity challenge, but that was the turning point for me to take action,” he shared. Mental health has been a constant presence in his life, with his parents working in the field, and he has personally faced his own struggles.

Berry’s battle with anorexia began during his school years, causing him to miss significant periods of education as he was frequently hospitalized. According to the Priory charity, about 25% of people with eating disorders are male, and anorexia nervosa has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness.

“Anorexia is often misunderstood, especially in men, and it’s not easy to find the right support,” Berry said. “But I’m fully recovered now, and I don’t want the illness to define me. I’ve found myself, and while it’s shaped who I am, it doesn’t define me—I am Cooper.”

Berry, who has already completed a 49-mile run across Lanzarote and the Berlin Marathon, has 265 days left in his challenge. Despite the grueling nature of the task, he is determined to keep going. “It’s been a crazy journey so far, but I’m confident I’ll finish,” he said. “This isn’t a gimmick; it’s a personal mission to start conversations and remind people they’re not alone.”

Berry’s story is a powerful reminder that mental health struggles are real, and reaching out for help can make all the difference. For anyone affected, support is available through various organizations listed on the BBC Action Line.
