Hey I’m Charlie - A hiking enthusiast!

Although, my body would say different and question each time a take on a new challenge.

So here she goes again…

I discovered the amazing work of The Hike with Mike Foundation through Hofnar, a solo travel group encouraging like minded people to meet and make friends with complete strangers, adventuring in incredible places.

I mention this, as Hofnar was a big part of helping with my own mental health struggles, building up a lacking of self confidence and making great connections with like minded people.

When they recommended this incredible charity, I started reading their story and inspiring blogs, discovering how committed the team are supporting those in need who perhaps are in crisis and can’t afford to wait with NHS waiting lists stretching up to 5 months.

Hike with Mike Foundation are on a mission to provide immediate therapy for those at risk of suicide, offering support within 24 hours of people reaching out.

What’s the challenge I here you ask…

To make this possible, we’re taking on our next big challenge summiting 10 peaks in just 10 hours in the stunning Lake District including Causey Pike, Sail, Crag Hill, Wandope, Whiteless Pike, High Snockrigg, Robinson, Dale Head, High Spy and Maiden—a grueling 26km (16.1 miles) trek.

This is no easy feat. Starting at 7 am, we’ll push our limits to complete this challenge within 10 hours. Every step we take represents our commitment to saving lives and ensuring immediate access to life-saving therapy.

I have a fundraising goal of £250 to meet and would love any support that you feel you can donate 🥰

P.S. I’ll be keeping my social feeds updated with training treks along the way ⛰️
