Welshman aims to create the largest GPS drawing of a penis in 24 hours for Movember

A Welshman is attempting to create the largest GPS drawing of a walking penis in 24 hours for Movember.

Terry Rosoman, 39, from South Wales, has mapped out a phallic-shaped 75-mile route through the Brecon Beacons, where he will take in 10,000ft of elevation gain, slippery conditions and freezing temperatures, all while growing awareness of men’s mental health.

He hopes the large manhood will attract the attention of his “target demographic” and joked that most men will find the shape “hilarious”.

“That’s why it’s a big man because, especially for the target demographic I’m targeting, men never grow up,” he told the PA news agency.

“They find this stuff funny, no matter what their age.

“I don’t mean to offend anyone with the form, but it was just to get their attention.”

Mr Rosoman, who is creative director for a freelance marketing company, hopes his challenge will encourage people struggling with mental health issues to find “grand goals that are bigger than yourself”.

Movember is a charity that aims to raise money and awareness for men’s mental health, suicide, prostate cancer and testicular cancer and encouraged the public to “raise funds” and “save lives” during the month of November.

His challenge, which aims to raise £5,000 for Movember, will start and finish at Abergavenny station, where he will start at 5pm on Friday and hope to finish at 5pm on Saturday.

“I start at sunset basically because I want to get off the night shift first, because when the sun comes up you’re rejuvenated,” he explained.

Mr Rosoman is well versed in endurance challenges after scaling Pen Y Fan, the highest peak in southern Britain, 10 times in 24 hours while raising more than £3,000 for charity and running an ultramarathon 50 miles while carrying a heavy backpack. .

However, he said creating the largest GPS drawing of male genitalia is the longest distance he has traveled and his biggest challenge to date.

He was inspired to take on endurance challenges after wanting to turn his life around after years of heavy drinking, smoking, weight problems and recreational drug use.

He said he was “at his worst physical and mental health” in 2013 and feared he might lose his life because of his unhealthy lifestyle.

“Over the years of abuse, it got me to a point where I was unfit, obese, no mate prospects and deeply, deeply unhappy,” he said.

“I think I realized that if I didn’t change my life, maybe I wouldn’t be here in the future, whether it was health complications or getting to a point where you don’t want to be here. “

That same year, Mr. Rosoman signed up for white-collar boxing, a form of boxing in which those without training in the sport compete, as a way to improve his physical health.

He lost three stone in around 12 weeks, gave up drinking and smoking and adopted a healthy diet in preparation for the fight.

“The icing on the cake was that I also won the fight. I completely turned my life around and I was in the happiest place I’ve ever been in my life,” he said.

“I credit that to the challenge, purpose and meaning it gave me, but also the mental toughness to endure or make difficult decisions.”

Mr Rosoman hopes his fundraising efforts will inspire men to take on their own challenges.

“I just wanted to push this message of challenges, basically,” he said.

“At the end of the day, it’s just about having goals, goals, but big goals and grand goals that are bigger than you, that are more important than going to the pub, and it will give you that kind of purpose.”
