Stepping up for Mental Health UK this August!

This August, I’m lacing up my trainers and taking on 31 miles to support Mental Health UK.
​
This challenge is deeply personal for me. Having experienced severe depression and understanding suicide/suicidal thoughts, I know firsthand how dark things can get, and I’ve seen the profound impact it has on friends, family, and loved ones. 

I am doing this walk for myself, as a milestone in my own journey, and to help ensure that others who are struggling find the support they need before it's too late.

​I wanted to challenge myself physically while doing something truly meaningful to give back. No one should have to navigate the weight of mental illness alone.

​I'll be tracking my progress throughout the month, so please feel free to cheer me on! If you are able to donate, your generosity will directly help Mental Health UK deliver their vital advice, information, and life-saving support groups. 

Thank you so much for standing with me.

Day # 29 Lovely walk

Saturday 29th Aug
Had a lovely walk this afternoon since the weather was nice. 4.30 mile walk around Methil and Buckhaven.

Quick update & a massive Thank you

Thursday 27th Aug
​Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet on here lately! Work has been super busy, but I’ve still been out there pounding the pavement and hitting my 10,000 steps every single day to stay on track.

​While I don't think I'm going to double my original target like I’d secretly hoped, I am still incredibly proud of what I’ve achieved so far and every single mile put in.

​A huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who has donated so far, your support means the world to me and keeps my feet moving!

​Thank you all so much again! ❤️

Had a walk along from East Weymess to Buckhaven along thr coastal path. Lovely walk. However my Strava had missed out a whole mile, so instead of being 4.65 miles, it took it to 3.5 miles. Lucky I had my fitbit on lol.

Day # 9 - Listening to the Body & Chasing Down the Final 10 Miles!

Sunday 9th Aug
​My body was telling me to slow down a little this week, so I listened! 

After a restful Friday and a cinema trip with my eldest on Saturday, I squeezed in a refreshing 3.10-mile walk on Sunday afternoon.

​I'm feeling energized for the week ahead, back to the usual gym, swim, health suite, and walking routine. 

More importantly, I’m officially just 10 miles away from my 31-mile goal!

​To everyone who has donated and sponsored me: thank you so much. I’m completely blown away by all the love and support! ❤️

Day #5

Nice wee walk from Leven hogh street, along the promenade, into River Park and along to Methil.

​Happy August 1st! 

Today marks day one of my challenge to walk 31 miles this month to raise funds and awareness for Mental Health UK, a cause that is very close to my heart! 🧠❤️

​I'm excited to get stuck into this! In fact, I couldn't even wait, I’ve already smashed out my first 2 miles this morning!

​The day isn't over yet, though. After hitting the gym, getting a swim in, and having a nice relaxed sauna session later, I’ll be heading back out later for Walk #2 of the day.

​Every single mile counts, and so does every single pound! 

Mental health support is more important than ever, and I’d be so grateful if you could cheer me on, or even donate the cost of a coffee to help me reach my goal. ☕😊

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me so far, and those who have shared my page, I appreciate you guys 🥰

​Let’s do this! 🚶‍♂️🎉

Walk along River Park.

Warm up the legs.

Monday 6th Jul
So managed over 2 miles on a walk today. First decent walk since April, knees felt okay, had it strapped up. Tired by the end but shows I can more than manage it. Plan to do this on a regular, build up the knee muscle. So here is the start of it 😊
