Story

I’m taking on a 100km hike, with the equivalent ascent and descent of Mount Kilimanjaro, to raise awareness and support for mental health. This will be the hardest thing I've ever tried to accomplish, not just physically, but mentally too. Pushing through exhaustion, doubt and discomfort will be as much a fight with my own mind as it is with the challenge itself. but that’s exactly why I’m doing it.

Throughout the journey I’ll be vlogging, not just to share the physical challenge, but to open up conversations around mental health. I know from personal experience just how difficult it can be to speak out, but that’s exactly why I want to use this challenge to encourage others to do so. No one should feel like they have to face their struggles alone.
