: Walk the Scotland 2024 - Supporting YoungMinds

2024 Challenge: Hiking the Length of Scotland! 🗺️

In September 2023, I successfully completed the South West Coast Path, raising over £5,000 for YoungMinds, thanks to the incredible support of people like you. But why stop there?

This September 2024, I'm taking on an even bigger challenge—walking the entire length of Scotland, a grueling 450-mile journey! This trek will start in the rolling borderlands, lead me through the majestic hills via the West Highland Way, across the stunning Great Glen, and then up the rugged North East coast to finish at John O'Groats.

I'll be walking 15-25 miles a day, mostly wild camping, and I'll be sharing the highs (and the inevitable lows) on social media. If you enjoy the breathtaking scenery or watching me push through the tough times, I’d be so grateful if you'd consider supporting YoungMinds UK through this adventure.

#### **Why YoungMinds?**

It’s a tough time to be a young person today. The mental health crisis among young people is worsening, with social media playing a significant role. Alarmingly, suicide is on the rise and was the leading cause of death for males and females aged 5-34 in 2019. We need to get upstream of this problem, and that’s why I’m raising money for YoungMinds—a charity dedicated to making sure every young person gets the mental health support they need

Please donate whatever you can to help me support this vital cause. Every penny counts and will go directly to YoungMinds UK.

Thanks for following along and supporting this journey!
