Challenge: Walk 30k in 24 hours in the Peak District with Danny Jones from McFly
In memory of: Martin Scott, who sadly took his own life in July 2023
After losing Martin to suicide, I felt compelled to spread the word and raise awareness of the importance of mental health and conversations around intrusive thoughts. In the past two years, my relationship with my own mental health has suffered and I continue to try and muddle my way through life, now that PTSD and depression walk alongside me. I know first-hand just how hard it is to admit you're struggling and ask for company or help. I hope that in taking on this challenge, I can strengthen my own confidence but the confidence of those around me too. ❤️
