Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have walked the Yorkshire 3 peaks before, a good few times
as a challenge or training for a challenge. So it wasn't an option for a
sponsored event...that was until my friend Dan suggested doing it 5 times in 5
days...

So on the 14th September 2022 Dan and I will set off on day
one of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks 5x5. We will repeat this until Sunday 18th and our
5th trip around the 3 peaks.


Over the years, through many difficult times getting into the great outdoors has been my saviour, whether on the bike or on foot. This March I was hit by a car at a roundabout whilst on the bike, thankfully my injuries were not severe and I was back on the bike, with support from some very good friends a few weeks later. 

Then after returning from holiday in Malta i really struggled to go for a run or cycle. It was like a mental prison every time I went to leave the house. With the accident and suffering a miscarriage around the same time i had become very negative in my thoughts. The less I got outside the worse I felt. Cycling and walking were my escape and way of coping with life and without the ability to get out I really went downhill and my mood and mindset changed. Thankfully, after a couple of months a good friend got me out on the bike, though it was not easy. I felt more tired building the strength to get out than I did on the ride, but I knew I had to do it. 

It made me realise how valuable the outdoors and exercise was to my mental health and general wellbeing, and that is why I really believe in Mind Over Mountains mission and am proud to support them.
