Why I’m Walking 25km for 25 Years of The Matrix Trust:

I work part time for a youth mental health charity - The Matrix Trust. They do incredible work, and I wish I had access to something like them when I was younger.

Recently Matrix celebrated 25 years of walking alongside vulnerable young people — so I’m walking 25km on the 23rd March 2026 to honour that milestone and help them continue their life‑changing work.

Matrix creates safe spaces, builds trusted relationships, and provides the support young people need to grow in confidence, wellbeing and resilience. Their work truly nurtures, inspires, connects and empowers young people who might otherwise feel left behind.

By sponsoring me, you’re helping Matrix continue its mission for the next 25 years — giving young people the chance to thrive, belong and believe in their future.

I am hoping to be able to complete the full 25km, but as I had months of being on bedrest (for a health condition) up until Christmas, it will truly be a big challenge for me! So I will give it my best and see how far I can get!

Thank you so much for your support.
