Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I became involved in Climb Your Mountain (CYM) in March 2012. During that time I have met some truly inspirational people, who have found the strength to get through those difficult and challenging times with support from this fantastic charity. My own life has also seen a dramatic change through my involvement with CYM. I have learnt to really appreciate the value of being in the great outdoors and the impact it can have on how you feel. I have achieved things that I wouldn't even have attempted previously, from taking part in many UK challenges such as Snowdon, Scafell Pike and most recently the National 3 Peaks challenge, to climbing Kilimanjaro with the charity in February 2013- a truly life-changing experience! 

CYM largely depends on fundraising so that they can continue to offer free services to people going through difficult periods in their lives. Anyone wishing to improve their health and well-being can benefit greatly from the work they do. The charity's website www.climbyourmountain.org contains stacks of information about the free services available, but some examples are health and well-being courses, workshops covering areas such as depression, confidence, motivation and nutrition, and weekly walks/hikes and exercise classes. There is also lots of educational material available. 

Anyone who knows me well knows that my normal phrase when it comes to running is......"I don't do running"........so this wilI indeed be a challenge!!
