Story

Hi, I’m India, I’m using chooseachallenge.com to help support a charity in Bristol called Hft! I will be completing a trek in Machu Picchu with a group of other university students in the summer of 2026!

I'm finally putting on my boots again after a year of being off due to a knee injury, but this time it's for a cause greater than myself. I am doing this to raise money for Hft, a great charity that supports adults with learning disabilities supporting independent, dignified, and joyful lives, something we all deserve!

As a student of psychology and criminology that lives with Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and Tourette Syndrome, I know what it's like to be ignored and to have people focus on your limitations rather than your potential. I like to use hiking as a tool for my mental health and a means of demonstrating to myself that I can overcome any obstacle. This journey is my opportunity to make a statement, return the favour, and give back.

Hft is going to continue to change lives with every donation, no matter how small (Even a pound will help!). And for everyone who has been repeatedly told “You can't do something” I’m ready to prove them wrong. It’s time to take action!
