My name is Bec. As someone who has been diagnosed with CPTSD and Disassociative Amnesia I have first-hand experience of struggling with my own mental health issues. 

I have been through a system that can only do so much. Two and half years ago I decided to relocate my life and move to the North of Ireland. It is here that I became aware of the fantastic work that Solas do for the local community. While I personally have not used their services as of yet, I have seen first-hand that Solas is a truly transformative sanctuary that approaches well-being and mental health in a way that I believe is far more effective and crucial in helping people to heal. I believe that every town and community should have their own 'Solas' but like many other charity organisations out there they are overstretched and underfunded. I have chosen a local charity because I would like to hopefully with your support, help make a contribution to the community that welcomes me with open arms . 

In my attempt to walk the Ireland way a distance of 1000km, I will be camping the full route. No warm hotels or b&b's, a 40 day hike with a rucksack  across mountains, bogs, towns and roads in what looks like a very cold, wet and windy March/April . For me this is a huge challenge and although I will be walking alone, I can not do this without the support of my friends old and new. 

This is my first ever fundraising attempt. I humbly ask you to help me make this happen.😊
