Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The last couple of years have been rough for us all; the global change with Covid-19 has had a lasting effect on us all; how/when we can meet our friends and family was a total shock to us all and took a while to adjust - the chance to catch up with a friend for a chat disappeared for a while - at a time when it was most needed for our own emotional and mental health. 

For me personally over this time I lost both my Brother-in-law to Cancer followed shortly after with my own Mother passing away, add to that hospitalization with Covid for us and close friends & family.

It has highlighted how important it is to support all our fellow human beings, make the time to talk and reflect on where we are and help each other on our journeys.

I decided during Lockdown with a friend to take on this epic challenge to cross North to South Iceland in 5 days (that’s about 425 KM distance) by bike, trekking and raft (on glacial melt). Initially this was just as something to keep us focussed beyond lockdown, but the training has also been an outlet for me coming to grips with the events over the last couple of years – and lead me turn in it into this fundraiser for Mind.
