Hello!

So in the Winter of 2023 I decided to take on the crazy challenge of climbing/ walking to the highest point of every English county. That is a total of 48 peaks! I will be doing this challenge, whilst working full time as a Registered Veterinary Nurse so the real challenge will come in how I can juggle work, life and this challenge. I will be raising money throughout the whole challenge for Vetlife. Follow my journey and progress on my Instagram @that.ginger.girl.who.hikes

Why vetlife? The veterinary community continues to experience significantly higher levels of depression and suicide than the general population. Vetlife works to ensure that those engaged in the veterinary community are aware of available assistance, and signposts them to sources of help should they, or a colleague, be in need of support. Support needs vary according to circumstance and may involve short-term support to cope with an immediate crisis or longer term support for those affected by age, ill health or disability.

The list of peaks is listed below, although I will be walking/ climbing these in no particular order I plan to finish with the big one- Scafell Pike. If you would like to join me on a walk/ climb then please let me know (drop me a DM on my instagram)- I would love the company.
