Hello everyone , I am undertaking the challenge of climbing Ben Nevis and participating in a kilt walk to raise funds for Steps to Hope, the organisation that truly saved my life. Just over four months ago, I walked into Steps to Hope after struggling with feelings of despair and attempting to take my own life. I felt utterly broken and was unable to recognise that alcohol, which I l thought was my solution to handling my emotions and escaping my mind , was actually destroying me.

Thanks to the compassion and support of Mel, Raymond, and Richie, I was able to see the truth that it was my problem. They provided me with the love, guidance, and tools I needed to achieve sobriety and discover happiness and inner peace—something I never thought possible. Because of their unconditional love & support, my family has their daughter and sister back, and I have reclaimed my life, with a beautiful future ahead of me. I honestly believe I wouldn’t be alive today if it wasn’t for steps to hope.

Therefore , I kindly ask you to donate to this incredible charity, so they can continue to help more individuals in need. Your support can make a profound difference.
