Walking from Mexico to Canada

Walking for Combat Stress – Pacific Crest Trail 2026
In 2026, I will take on one of the toughest long-distance walks in the world: hiking the entire Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada—over 2,650 miles on foot—through deserts, mountains, and wilderness.
This journey is about more than physical endurance. It’s about raising vital funds and awareness for Combat Stress, the UK’s leading charity supporting veterans struggling with mental health issues such as PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
Every mile walked represents the daily battles faced by former service personnel long after their uniform is hung up. Combat Stress provides life-changing clinical treatment, outreach, and support to those who have served our country—help that can mean the difference between despair and recovery.
The Pacific Crest Trail will test me mentally and physically: extreme heat, snow-covered passes, isolation, exhaustion, and months away from comfort. But these challenges are temporary. For many veterans, the impact of combat trauma can last a lifetime.
By sponsoring this walk, you’re not just backing an adventure—you’re helping ensure that no veteran faces their struggles alone.
Please donate, share, and support this journey from Mexico to Canada. Every step brings us closer to better care, hope, and recovery for those who’ve served.
Thank you for standing with Combat Stress.

I am raising vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.

Combat Stress is the UK's leading charity for veterans' mental health. For over a century, they've helped former servicemen and women deal with issues like trauma, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, they provide support to veterans from every service and every conflict.

I’m taking on vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need.

Thank you so much for your support.
