In September of this year as part of a team I will be taking on one of the biggest challenges of my life trekking to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro the highest free standing mountain in Africa. I will be undertaking this challenge to raise awareness of the plight many people have with mental health and making sure they know it's okay to say I'm not okay.

I have sadly experienced the pain and hurt of loosing somebody close to me through suffering from a mental health condition and I want to make sure everyone is aware help is out there and that they can get the support they need and deserve.

Charities like MIND & SAMH need our help to continue providing the support and advice thousands of people around the UK need to start the journey and understand how they can conquer mental health problems.
