Story

I am really excited to be doing this challenge (on the 5th/6th of September) in support of the fantastic charity, Sporting Minds UK, who promote positive mental health in young athletes. 

A lot of friends compete in high performance sport and I very much know from personal experience, friends and in the job that I do, sport is not just a physical battle, it is a mental battle too. And what with COVID-19 and the lack of structure, training, competition and seeing friends - a lot of young athletes have come unstuck, so we need to be able to help these up-and-coming talent by supporting them to develop greater mental strength, as much as their physical strength. They are a relatively young charity, less than a year old, and it’s coming up to their first anniversary on 26th November so they need to raise as much money as possible to continue the incredible work that they are doing - providing a further 100 young sportspeople with much needed specialist mental health support.

This challenge is going to be incredibly tough, both mentally and physically, so any support you feel you would love to give - I, myself, and Sporting Minds UK would be most grateful. 

Thank you x
