Five years ago, my daughters and I lost Rob—my husband and their dad—to a mental health crisis. It’s a loss that changed our lives forever, and one that continues to shape how we understand the importance of mental health support.

We’re raising money for MIND, a charity that works tirelessly to ensure no one faces mental health challenges alone. Their work helps people find hope, guidance, and the support they need—something we wish had been more accessible for Rob.

This fundraiser is a quiet nod to his memory, and a loud call for better mental health care for everyone. If you’re able to donate, thank you. If you’re not, sharing this page means the world.

I will be one of the 10 Smartdesc staff who will climb Mount Olympus in Greece, which is 9,572ft tall! This will be a challenging hike taking place over 2 days. We will be sharing updates and photos of our training along the way!

Why we are raising money for Mind

2 million people are currently stuck on waiting lists for NHS mental health services. Many will reach crisis point. We are fundraising for Mind to help make sure there’s no mind left behind.

We are proud to be supporting Mind on their mission to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem.
