I've been an advocate for the Mental Health Foundation for several years now. After my own experiences with my mental health which have recently spiraled due to the effects of Covid, I thought it was time to challenge myself again. I have been unable to work throughout the pandemic and unfortunately am yet again unable to work, I've been doing lots of walking to help keep myself active and clear my head and thought that it would be an excellent way to raise awareness for such an important cause and push myself to achieve something out of my comfort zone, by utilizing my time by walking 1084 miles by May (Which is the equivalent of the UK) whilst helping other people who are experiencing the effects of mental health during this dificult time.

The Mental Health Foundation is the UK’s charity for everyone’s mental health. With prevention at the heart of what they do, the Mental Health Foundation aim to find and address the sources of mental health problems so that people and communities can thrive.
