Story
In May 2026 I will be taking on an extreme version of the National Three Peaks challenge to raise funds an awareness for mental health charities across the UK.
The challenge will involve 500 miles of trails, crossing through three countries, Wales, England and Scotland whilst tackling the highest summits in each and including 60,000 feet of combined elevation gain. All this in 28 days carrying all my gear with me.
My own mental health has been something that I have struggled with since childhood and it was after a very dark spell that I discovered hiking and adventures in the great outdoors and the benefit it has had on both my physical and mental wellbeing.
Now it's time to give something back, this is going to be a huge challenge which is going to test every inch of my body and mind. Any support will be massively appreciated.
