"Everyone can use a little encouragement now and then. Sadly, both inner struggles and external setbacks are an unavoidable part of being human. The good news is we don’t have to leave someone we care about to muddle through alone".

Therefore, we have decided challenging our self and complete Yorkshire Three Peak Challenge barefoot. It’s a  24-miles (38.6km) round trip route, and includes 1585m (5200ft) of ascent. It is simulating the length of a marathon when completed. 

With all donations going towards ‘Combat Stress'. 'Combat Stress' are the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health.

For over a century, they’ve helped former servicemen and women deal with trauma-related mental health problems such as anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

They’re on a mission to raise awareness that invisible injuries can be just as hard to cope with as physical ones. So when a veteran is having a tough time, they’re there to help them tackle the past and take on the future.

I thank you in advance for reading this and all donations however big or small are greatly appreciated and will hopefully help towards others in getting the help they need. 

Mental health although not visible is equally important as physical health, therefore it’s vital that there is the support and help available to everyone who is in need. For anyone who is experiencing mental health difficulties please reach out, speak to family or loved ones and contact Combat Stress or in an emergency 999. Don’t suffer alone. The work these charities do and help they put in place is seriously incredible. Please reach out to friends and ask how they are, ask twice.. you never know what someone is hiding behind a smile.
