Mental Health Matters. 

On June 12th I will be setting out to trek across Montana, Colorado and Wyoming, hiking the Western section of the Continental Divide Trail. I will be hiking and camping through Glacier National Park in Montana, Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, and Rocky National Park in Colorado. I will also be going alone.

 I want to use my trek to help raise money for the mental health charity MIND. Mind is a leading mental health charity which provides vital resources for anyone struggling with their mental health. Leaving behind my perfume for bear spray, for the next month and a bit it will just be me, my lil tent and the mountains... Having only camped once before in my life (last week) this trip is a daunting challenge…I will be hiking every day and sleeping in my tent, reaching high altitudes, difficult terrain, and many moments of solitude. However, I’m also hugely excited about this crazy experience ahead and the opportunity to raise, even if a little, money for a service that is so vital.

This trek was inspired by an incredibly challenging time in my life when my mental health was at its worst. Luckily, I had resources and loved ones to turn too, however it is not that easy for everyone. Please consider donating, even if just a little, to help fund the amazing work and vital resources that MIND provides. No one should have to suffer alone. Stay safe everyone and remember to always speak your Mind. 🌲❤️
