This fall I am taking my hiking to the next level and challenging myself further and hiking for a cause.

I grew up hiking with my Dad, who taught me how amazing nature was. When I was older he told me stories of how he used hiking and nature as a way to help heal his soul when he was going through a very rough time in life.

As I have gone through my own struggles with mental health, I have used hiking as a way to heal my own soul, and calm my mind, just as my Dad did. As someone who has  struggled with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and post partem, as well as having friends and family who have gone through similar and sometimes worse mental health struggles, I have chosen to join the HIKE for Mental Health Challenge on Mount Washington this August to help stamp out the stigma of mental illness and conserve wilderness trails for future generations.

I would be so grateful if you would consider making a donation, leaving a message, or sharing this page? Thank you so much! 😊
