This is our second Mt. Washington Hike for Mental Health in memory of Natalie Duncan, who died by suicide August 2, 2024. This hike is also dedicated to all long-distance hikers. Natalie was a southbound Appalachian Trail hiker, finishing in December 2022.
Natalie’s undiagnosed and untreated mental illness became unbearable for her. She was such a loving person, but she had difficulty loving herself enough to seek treatment for her mental challenges. We miss her deeply, and hope her tragedy will not be repeated with others. Natalie’s obituary: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/concord-nh/natalie-duncan-11931776
