Story

Hey thanks for visiting my page.

On the 25th June, I’ll be completing (trying to lol) the Mournes 7 peaks challenge to raise money for Action Mental Health. 

Anyone who knows me will know that mental health and psychological well-being is a cause very close to my heart and profession. We are all vulnerable at one point or another and so much more work needs to be done to de-stigmatise psychological difficulty and promote a culture that normalises help seeking when we are feeling vulnerable. 

Northern Ireland has the highest suicide rate in the UK and still mental health services and resource remains underfunded relative to the rest of the U.K. and Ireland.  We have all been affected directly or indirectly and the pressures of the last two years have affected us all in ways we could never have imagined. 

So this year - I decided, with the support of loved ones to get off my bum and try to do something a little different. 

Here’s what I will be doing.

Order of summits

Summits                                     Height

·       Slieve Meelbeg                  708m

·       Slieve Meelmore                687m

·       Slieve Bearnagh                739m

·       Slieve Binnian                    747m

·       19:00hrs Finish

It will take around 12 hours to complete and let’s face it I’m not as young as I think I am lol so it should be fun!!! I’ll be completing it with my partner Cameron and my close friend Barry Boland. They’ll probably be ready to bate me by the end of it!! Lol. 

Excited to face the challenge and totally bricking it at the same time lol. 

Soooo…..I’m hoping you will help me in reaching my goal of raising a minimum of £300 to provide vital funding to Action Mental Health. 

Please believe me when I say I would be beyond grateful for any donations no matter how big or small.  You will be contributing to a really worthwhile cause! 

Thank you so so much. K ❤️
