This October I'm participating in the Freedom Pilgrimage with Mercy UK to raise vital funds for those who are fighting to break free from challenges with mental health.

Alongside others I will be walking 123 km within 5 days. Over this time I will keep my phone OFF (I know - what a crazy thing to do as a Gen Z).

But I will keep a tiny prayer journal with me to write down any prayer requests people have sent me and also to keep track of what God is doing & speaking over these 5 long days.

Each step I walk will remind me of the struggle, pain and strength required to walk a path toward healing from trauma. In the same way, those on their own Freedom Journey with Mercy UK navigate a road filled with challenges, but one that leads to restoration and freedom.

I know that life can have times that feel like an endless, uphill journey. But no one should have to walk that path alone. Mercy UK give individuals the tools, support, and spiritual guidance they need to find hope and healing.

Your sponsorship shows you also come alongside every person fighting to break free from pain, anxiety, and trauma.

Thank you so much!
