Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Over the years, I’ve learned that mental ill health is something affects all of us. It touches our families, our friends, our workplaces, and our communities. Some of us struggle quietly, some of us openly, and some of us don’t realise how much we’re carrying until life becomes overwhelming. I've spoken openly about my experiences and tried to be an advocate of using health and fitness to combat mental ill health.

That’s why I’m raising money for the Lanarkshire Association for Mental Health (LAMH). LAMH is a local charity that steps in when people need support the most. They offer practical help, emotional guidance, crisis support, and a safe space for people who feel like they have nowhere else to turn. Their work changes lives in ways that often go unseen but never go unfelt.

This year I am looking to take on a series of ultra marathons known as the 'Triple Crown'. This consists of 3 races along the West Highland Way - The Devil o'the Highlands (42miles, April), The Highland Fling (53miles, August) and the West Highland Way race (95miles, June). This totals approximately 8550m of elevation (295m short of climbing Everest!)

If you’re able to donate, even a small amount, you’ll be helping someone find hope, stability, and the support they deserve. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for supporting an amazing charity tackling mental ill health in my community.
