Starting in May 2025, I will be climbing all 446 mountains within England & Wales in one go - running and cycling over 2700km, ascending almost 10 times the height of Mount Everest, with a record target of 50 days.

This year will be 10 years since I survived the Nepal earthquake on Mount Everest, and my 30th birthday. Too many young people won't reach that milestone, now that suicide is the biggest killer of people under 35 in the UK. That's 5 young people on average, each day.

Being out in the mountains has helped me through my own darkest moments and struggles with depression, anxiety and bulimia since being a teenager. I think everyone should have access to the support they need.

The 446 Challenge will raise at least £100,000 for Mind Over Mountains - an ambitious and innovative mental health charity that I founded in 2020. We enable people to restore and sustain their mental health and wellbeing through a highly integrated practice that brings together walking in nature, mindfulness, and professional coaching and counselling.

This challenge will help Mind Over Mountains to hit their Project500 target of £500,000 to enable their 3 year strategy and support thousands more people across the UK.

£100,000 could fund at least 226 people to experience a weekend retreat, or 1,000 people to attend a day walk, with professional mental health support and respite in nature.

With your help we can move mountains!
