Over five days, I will be hiking with 70 friends and colleagues over 70km and gaining 2,000m in elevation to raise awareness and funds for mental health charities. This cause is deeply personal to us, and we invite you to support us in any way you can. 

Throughout the 100km journey, we will be cut off from modern comfort , including the necessity of the internet, to focus on personal connections and be honest in facing our own struggles. Joining us, apart from the 70 strong colleagues, will be Heather Fisher - World Cup winner, Olympian & mental health ambassador! She has represented England at multiple World Cups, Six Nations Championships and many more. She is a champion in raising awareness in mental health, and her personal resilience and dedication have made her an inspiring figure both as an athlete and a mental health ambassador!

Mental health is crucial to overall well-being, yet often overlooked. Unfortunately, over the years I have lost friends to depression and other deadly mental health issues, it is never an easy experience for families and friends, especially when we all have the question of "what if I've answered that call?", "what if I gave them a call?" and many other "what ifs". I believe we can all show a little more care, a little more love to those around us, or as simple as sharing time with them.

This is why organisations like The Samaritans HK is so important - the safety line we all need. Find out more about The Samaritans HK: https://samaritans.org.hk/?lang=en
