Peak District Ultra Challenge 2025 · 28 June 2025 · Start fundraising for this event

Project 500 is a movement to raise £500,000 for Mind Over Mountains, to significantly grow our charity so we can support more people with their mental health across the UK, through therapeutic outdoor experiences.

Story

Our best friend Rach tragically lost her life at only 40 years old. Rach was one of a kind, passionate, hilarious, an incredibly loyal friend and dedicated mum. As her best friends for over 20 years we are heartbroken but determined to do something positive in her memory. We’re taking on the challenge to run 100k in the Peak District in less than 24 hours. We’d like to raise money for a charity which supports people experiencing similar challenges to those faced by our dear Rach. We also all personally value the benefits of exercising in nature. We are really grateful for any support that you are able to offer to help us to help others in memory of Rach (plus the challenge is going to be gruelling!)

Mind Over Mountains is a ground-breaking charity helping people overcome mental health challenges through therapeutic outdoor experiences. Our specialist wellbeing walks and retreats bring together professionally guided hill-walking, mindfulness, and quality time with experienced coaches and counsellors.

£25 could cover someone's travel costs to attend.

£60 could fund a follow-on coaching or counselling session for an individual participant.

£90 could fund the full cost of a bursary place on one of our wellbeing walks.
