KILIMANJARO, 1 YEAR NO ALCOHOL & 6 MORE MOUNTAINS

This year I'm going to spending my time raising money for Devon Mind and your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate a lot or a little. Anything helps. 

 I am refraining from alcohol for a whole year and I will also climb the 4 highest peaks in the UK & Ireland while also climbing Spain’s biggest mountain Mount Tiede and 4km+ high Castor mountain in the Italian Alps. Finally in October myself, Craig & Jamie (the team) will be climbing the biggest mountain in Africa. The 7 day trek will see us take on the mighty Kilimanjaro in Tanzania standing nearly 6000m above sea level. 

 Addiction & Mental Health have both played prominent roles in my upbringing & throughout my adult life. I’d like to highlight these struggles that so many battle with every day through doing something positive and by raising some money for this much deserving local charity meaning they will have more resources to help those in need in our own communities.

 Devon Mind staff work closely with all levels of mental health, community organisations and networks to improve the quality of life for those with mental health problems, and also to promote positive mental well being. I would like to help raise public awareness as so many people are affected by mental health & addiction in some way but ironically most people do not understand it. Awareness & Understanding is the first step in helping those in need. 

 Thankyou for your support & here’s to a positive 2022
