Conquering Peaks !
This march, I’m embarking on a challenge that’s as much about mental resilience as it it about physical endurance. I’ll be hiking the three tallest peaks in England, Wales & Scotland, scaleless Pike, Snowdon & Ben Nevis all within 24hrs !! This journey is part of “March in March” campaign, a cause close to my heart, dedicated to supporting the mental health of service veterans.For me, this challenge isn’t just about the peaks (it’s about the valleys too lol) it’s about the mental struggles I’ve faced in my own life. Like so many others, I’ve battled my demons, and I know firsthand the importance of having the right support system in place. That’s why I want to raise awareness & funds for veterans who may be fighting there battles silently.
Growing up, the military played a pivotal role in shaping who I am today. As a former Air Cadet from the age of 12-18, I developed discipline, resilience and camaraderie. The values and experiences I gained in those years have given me a deep appreciation for the sacrifices made by our service members. Those 6 years taught me to push my limits, embrace challenges & find strength in adversity, lesson I still carry to this day.
This hike is a way to give back and honor the community that helped shape my life. It also reminds me there ain’t no mountain high enough (thanks Marvin Gaye & Tammi girl) when we come to support each other. Every step I will take is for veterans who’ve given so much & for anyone struggling with their mental health, remember this help & hope are always within reach.
If you’d like to support this cause, please consider donating or spread the word. Together, we can make a difference.
