So someone close to me is battling health problems. Depression isnt just about feeling sad and sorry for yourself. Its a dark shaddow that lurks and makes even the simplest of things feel impossible. Its anxiety, panic attacks, not feeling able to cope and ur life spiraling out of control. Addictions can happen and dont help especially drugs!

Depression is a subject I know only to well about having been there myself. Unfortunately in the UK theres not enough support available for people suffering from depression and addictions and they arent getting the help they desperately need.

This person close to me has a massive mountain ahead of them to climb but as he says “he has big feet” lol. Ive decided to try and be as supportive as I can that im going to climb a ”mountain” myself. This being Goatfell on the Isle of Arran. This is a place very close to our hearts as we have alot of childhood memories of this place.

I have set a target of £150 but would love to smash that. The funds I raise will go towards the help with the funds for the treatment this person needs. Once he has the treatment he needs and is back to better health and beats those demons - I will re-climb goatfell and he has set a deal with me that he will do it alongside me!! In his words “lets run up the f*****g thing” lol. Your on D lets do it!!

Thankyou so much for reading my story and for sponsoring me it means the world. I will keep u posted on things and get a date sorted for when we climb this mountain!! Thinking October time for my first one and stay tuned to see the 2nd one!!

lots of love
