10 Things You Didn't Know About Marc Mero
10. He Gives Anti-Suicide Talks Now
Marc Mero knows a lot about drug use, social pressure and living his life selfishly. As a professional wrestler, he experienced all of this on a regular basis, and that's something he's keen to discuss nowadays. It's partly why he decided to set up the 'Champion Of Choices' campaign.
Over the past nine years, Mero has delivered 1,600 different presentations related to bullying, anti-drugs and the sensitive issue of suicide. Touring around high schools, mental health units and colleges, the former wrestler uses his own life experience to try and positively impact the lives of others.
Currently, Mero is delivering a staggering 40 presentations (at least) each month, and this doesn't give him a lot of time at home. Prompted to begin his new campaign for change following the Chris Benoit tragedy in 2007, he believes in spreading positive messages to people during their most impressionable years.
