Story

I’m not sure where to start but here goes... 

Back in 2003 I met the most incredible man whilst I was an overseas rep, his name was Mike and we were inseparable, when the season came to an end we never lost touch and had plenty of visits including him being my +1 at Suzes (my mums) wedding.

Mike was diagnosed with Aspergers and things changed, he’d suffered with his mental health prior to this, however the diagnosis triggered something.... June 2017 was the last time I heard from Mike, he told me he wanted some time away and that was it. I’ll never stop caring for Mike and hoping one day he is ready to come back to us.

Back in 2019 I got the opportunity to cycle to Amsterdam to raise money for mind which was an unforgettable experience and when I hit that finish line I made a promise to myself to continue to raise funds and awareness for this amazing charity in hope it can help others like Mike. 

This time around I’ve gone for a trek as I want to push myself outside my comfort zone. Trekking approx 46km, through 3 countries over 3 days!
