Support Thomas' Healing Pilgrimage for Mental Health
Donation protected
Hey, I’m Thomas
And this September, I’m setting out on a very personal pilgrimage along the Ireland West Camino. I’m raising funds to help make this journey possible, and I’d love to share a little bit about why this walk means so much to me.
Last year, I had the chance to create a documentary about this stunning route. The Ireland West Camino is a series of ancient pilgrimage paths that run along Ireland’s wild west, through quiet villages, along rocky cliffs, and past places that have been sacred for generations. It’s a journey rooted in reflection, history, and connection. I was blown away by the beauty of it all.
But this year, I’m going back for a different reason.
The last year has been incredibly tough. My mental health hit an all time low. And I found myself contemplating the worst. This year has been one of the hardest times I’ve ever gone through, but it has also been a turning point.
So this time, I’ll be walking the Camino in silence. No talking while I walk, just time to breathe, reflect, and be present. The mornings and evenings will still be open for conversation, but the walk itself will be a quiet act of remembrance for those who have struggled in silence, those we’ve lost, and those still finding their way. It’s my way of creating space for healing, for myself and for others.
Where your support goes:
• I’m raising $3,000 to help cover the basics, travel, places to stay, food, and other essentials.
• If we go beyond that, anything extra will go straight to suicide prevention efforts, because this walk is bigger than just me.
If you’re able to donate, thank you. Seriously. Every little bit helps. And if donating isn’t possible right now, sharing this fundraiser would mean a lot too.
Thanks for reading, and for walking this path with me, in spirit.
With love and gratitude,
Thomas
