I'm taking on 31 Miles this August for Mental Health UK

This August, I'm taking on 31 Miles in August to raise money for Mental Health UK.

For anyone that knows me properly, will know that this is something that is very close to my heart, so i'm walking 31 miles throughout the month of August to help ensure more people can access the mental health support they need, when they need it most.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help Mental Health UK continue providing vital services, information and support to people across the UK.

If you're able to, I'd be so grateful if you could sponsor me. Your support will help keep me motivated throughout the challenge and make a real difference to people's lives.

Thank you so much for your support!

Injury

Tuesday 1st Sep
So luckily I managed over 31 miles within 28 days as on the 28th day I took a fall and the last 3 days wasn’t possible to complete. I felt like I had failed but with it being a knee and hip injury as well as having fibromyalgia and spinal issues anyways, I had to rest. 

Thank you to everyone who sponsored me, me and Ava-Willow had a blast completing the days. 

31 Miles in August for Mental Health 💚

Wednesday 15th Jul

This August, I’m setting myself a challenge to walk/run 31 miles in 31 days for something that means more to me than words can ever explain – mental health.

Mental health is incredibly close to my heart. Every single day, people silently battle anxiety, depression, trauma, loneliness and so much more. Too often, they’re told to “keep going” or “talk to someone,” yet when they finally reach out, the support they desperately need isn’t always there.

The reality is heartbreaking. Too many people feel so alone, so unheard and so overwhelmed that they believe taking their own life is the only way to escape their pain. It should never get to that point.

No one should have to suffer in silence. No one should feel like they’re a burden. No one should be left waiting for help when they’re at their most vulnerable.

That’s why I’m taking on 31 Miles in August for Mental Health.

This isn’t just about the miles. It’s about raising awareness, starting conversations, encouraging people to check in on one another and reminding anyone who’s struggling that they matter.

Throughout August, I’ll be sharing my journey, the highs, the lows, and hopefully encouraging others to get involved too. Whether you walk a mile, donate to a mental health charity, or simply ask someone, “How are you, really?”—every action makes a difference.

Together, let’s break the stigma, support one another, and help create a world where nobody feels they have to face their darkest days alone.

31 miles. One month. One mission. Because every life matters. 💚
