When Henry Crew pulls on his leather jacket, fires up his motorbike and drives off on the open road, it marks a turning point for his mental health. For Henry, who is from Petersfield, Hampshire, the mission is so much more than an opportunity to break a Guinness World Record. “I have two motivations,” he explains during a phone interview with HuffPost while he was stopping over in Kazakhstan. When I had my own issues with depression and anxiety, motorbikes really helped me cope with that.” His second motivation is his friends, three of whom he tragically lost to suicide - the single biggest killer of men aged 45 and under in the UK. To break the world record, he will need to return to the UK by 10 May 2019.
