To raise some awareness and funds for Mind Charity I will be hiking from my home town of Stafford to the summit of Snowdon.

Mental health is something that I had struggled with since childhood, I had issue with addiction and depression over the last two decades and there has been many times when I thought it was a battle that I would not win.

My fitness journey over the last few years has given me the ability to cope with these aspects of my life in a healthy way. So I'm in a position where I want to challenge my own capabilities and help a charity that has had a direct impact on my life.

I will be hiking 180 miles with a combined elevation gain of over 29,500 ft (yep that’s the height of Everest) I’ll be spending 9 days trekking down canal paths and over mountain ranges, camping along the way.

You can find out more about my mission on my instagram page @and__hiking to follow my training journey.

Any donation would be amazing, this isn't for me it's to help support the millions of people everyday who need help from our mental health services.

Thank you

And
