My 3 peak challenge 

In August 2021 I will be taking part in the 3 peak challenge. I will be climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon all within 24 hours.

I will be doing it in aid of Mind, something that unfortunately has become very close to home since my accident at the end of 2018. Mind helps people everyday get through their worst days and believes no one should have to do it alone! 

My story:

As some may know I was involved in a serious car crash back in November 2018. Within a split second and something that was completely out of my control my life changed.

After months of hospital visits and a number of surgeries I finally realised that I needed to do something. I had enough of not wanting to get out of bed and feeling numb. So in July 2019 I took the brave step to talk to someone. I’m still in recovery mentally and physically. But each day I try to take a little step to keep going.

Some people will never know what it is like to live with a mental health illness. But unfortunately, 1 in 4 people in the UK will have a mental illness at some point in their lives. So please look at the people around you. Whether it’s friends, family, colleagues or complete strangers. You never know who might need help, so smile at people more, ask how they are or maybe they just need someone to sit with. It could change someone’s day. 

Please donate and help to raise awareness for all types of mental health because no one can beat this alone! And we are here to fight your corner👊🏼
