Mental health awareness is a cause that is very close to my heart. After losing my mother to her battle with mental illness, I became deeply committed to doing my part to raise awareness about this disease.

HIKE for Mental Health has been a platform for hundreds of us wanting to make a difference while bringing awareness to mental health.

Over the past 16 years of hiking Mount Washington, I have witnessed a profound shift in perspectives surrounding mental health and illness—not only among fellow hikers, but also within my personal and professional life. It is a true honor to hike alongside such like-minded individuals.

If you feel called to support our cause, any donation would be greatly appreciated. Alternatively, if you feel inspired to join us on the trail, we would love to have you hike alongside us.
