Hi, I’m Scarlett! Next September, I’ll be taking on one of the biggest challenges of my life: hiking to Everest Base Camp in support of Student Minds, a charity improving mental health and wellbeing for students across the UK.

Over 11 days I’ll be trekking approximately 130km through the Himalayas, reaching altitudes of up to 5,645m. As someone with asthma and Raynaud’s, everyone knows I hate cardio and the cold, so it’s going to be both physically and mentally demanding — but for a cause worth every step.

Mental health is something that affects everyone differently. I’ve struggled myself and seen close friends go through the same, so raising money for Student Minds, who work to make sure no student faces these challenges alone, feels especially important.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps Student Minds continue their vital work — supporting students in crisis, running campaigns and training sessions for students and staff. Creating lasting change across UK universities.

Thank you so much for your support 🫶🏼
