Me and my good friend Joe will be climbing Ben Nevis next month. We first started doing decent walks around about this time last year, when my mental health was deteriorating more rapidly than I was used to. Having done Snowdon and Scarfell with Joe (and a few of my other amazing friends) in the past year, Ben Nevis is the last of the 3 peaks to complete. I can’t quite put into words how huge this is for me and what these walks / climbs have done for my mental health. But it feels right and necessary to use this as an opportunity to raise awareness and some money for a good cause. As some of you may know, I lost one of my best friends to suicide when I was in high school and that loss is something that I still massively struggle with to this day. I have an amazing support system around me who try their hardest to get me through every bad day, but not everyone out there is lucky enough to have that! That’s why, if you sponsor us on our climb up Ben Nevis your money will be going to SOBS (Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide). A charity which offers support and help to those who have lost someone they love in this devastating way. Anything that you can give is largely appreciated!! 🧡
