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

Hey everyone,

I’m doing something a bit out of my comfort zone this August. I’ve signed up to take on a 31-mile challenge over the course of the month to raise money for an incredible mental health charity.

This is a cause that is deeply personal to me.

Why This Matters to Me:

If you know me well, you might know that mental health is something I’ve personally struggled with throughout my life. But if I'm being completely honest, this past year has been one of the hardest yet. It’s been a really tough, uphill battle, and there have been times when just getting through the day felt like a mountain to climb.

Because of my own experiences, I know firsthand how vital support services are. Nobody should have to struggle in silence or feel like they’re fighting these battles alone. The work this charity does helps ensure that support is always there when things get dark. Taking on these 31 miles is my way of giving back and turning some of my own struggles into something positive.

How You Can Help:

I’ve set a modest goal to raise £150, and I would love your help to get there.

Every little bit helps: Whether it’s £1, £5, or whatever you can spare, absolutely every donation—big or small—makes a massive difference.

Spread the word: If you aren’t in a position to donate right now, I completely understand! Sharing this post or sending some words of encouragement means just as much.

Thank you so much for reading, for your endless support, and for helping me reach my goal of £150. Wish me luck with the miles!

Thank you,

2 days to go before I start this challenge, and we already beat the target...

so, i have upped the target to £200 :)

I think this realistic and ill adjust again if we beat it...

I have set myself the challenge that only miles walked OUTSIDE will count... (walking on a treadmill is kinda cheating)

So, please, wish me well.. ill do another update soon <3

So far...

Well done Jess , great cause . This challenge reminds me of a school song -“One more step along the world I go “ 🚶‍♀️ 🎶 And perhaps some of us can come along & walk a mile or 2 with you if you’d like that 😁 xxx
