In March 2020, I will trek 100km with 99 other HSBC employees through the high altitude volcano region of the Andean mountains in Ecuador. At the end of the trek, myself and 3 other individuals will continue on the 4 day journey to the peak of Mt. Cotopaxi, an active volcano, and climb all the way to an altitude of 5,897m!

With no access to typical facilities, I will be carrying my own personal equipment, camping gear, and an unhealthy amount of camera equipment in order to raise money for Mind in support of mental health.

Mental health is a prevalent health concern, with 1 in 4 individuals being impacted in any given year. I have seen many friends, family members and loved-ones battle anxiety and depression from a young age. Having often felt powerless to help in a tangible way, I hope to use this trek to increase mental health awareness and contribute positively to an organization that can provide professional support to our friends and staff in need.

Thank you very much for supporting me on this journey!! :)
