Story
Hi, I’m Linz and in 2026 I’m taking on two life-changing adventures to raise money for MIND, a charity incredibly close to my heart.
Nature changed my life. It made me feel strong, connected, and dare I say it, like a superhero. In 2024 I walked the entire coastline of the UK: 6,136 miles, summiting Scafell Pike, Snowdon and Ben Nevis, raising over £14,000, and sharing miles with more than 700 people who stepped out to walk beside me.
My mission remains the same:
To inspire people to get outdoors to support their mental health and wellbeing.
In 2025 that mission continued with the Kintyre Way, the Cape Wrath Trail, Kintail’s Big 15 Munros, the Black Mountains 25 Peaks, Snowdon, the Brecon Beacons 10 & 20 Peaks, a 24-hour endurance trek, and finally the Camino Via Francigena where I earned the Fastest Known Time world record.
Now I’m stepping into my biggest year yet.
In 2026 I’ll be trekking the ancient Kumano Kodo Trail in Japan and attempting to summit Kilimanjaro in 24 hours or less with my team mates, Dagne, Rory and Stuart, guided by Joseph Mrope and the incredible team at Tanzania Inside & Safari adn our kind coaches Kelly, Lucy and Polly.
We’re calling this project: Summit Every Feeling.
💙We believe that every struggle, no matter how heavy, can be faced step by step.
💙We believe mountains - real and emotional - can be climbed.
💙We believe vulnerability is not weakness but the strength that carries us to the summit.
Together, we will face Kilimanjaro - up and down in 24 hours - to learn that no feeling, no challenge, no mountain is too great when faced step by step, mountain by mountain, feeling by feeling
“In doing so, we aspire to set a new Fastest Known Time & Guinness World Record (Group) to honour the courage of every mental health journey.
• Step by Step. Mountain by Mountain. Feeling by Feeling. •
Why MIND?
Because mental health affects every one of us.
Because many people walk through storms that no one can see.
Because support can change and even save lives.
And because this charity holds deep meaning in my own story.
How your donation helps
Your support will go directly to MIND’s essential work, providing:
• Lifesaving mental health services
• Support lines for people in crisis
• Advocacy for those who feel unseen
• Resources for families, carers and communities
Every pound brings hope.
Every donation walks beside someone who needs it.
Join me
If sharing my journey helps even one person feel less alone, more hopeful, or more connected, then every step is worth it.
Thank you for supporting this mission with your kindness, generosity and belief.
You are part of this story.
Live it. Be it. Feel it.
