<div>Hi, we’re Emma and Iwan and we are trekking the Inca Trail in Peru to help raise awareness and raise donations for The DPJ Foundation. A fantastic charity that we have both been involved in since its creation, 9 years ago.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Emma; I’ve been involved with The DPJ Foundation for the past 9 years, attending training, raising awareness, volunteering on the Share The Load 24/7 helpline and generally helping with events &amp; fundraising.  More recently I’m beyond proud to put my nursing skills to use on the Hywel Davies lorry - a cattle lorry which has been converted into an amazing mobile medical hub, which allows us to attend livestock markets &amp; local farming events, helping us bridge the gap between physical &amp; mental health - right at the heart of where farmers go! 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I had no farming knowledge before I got involved with the charity &amp; it’s been a steep learning curve, but I can see firsthand the amazing work that DPJ offers, the impact it has on the farming community &amp; the real difference it makes every single day. 

</div>

<div>The charity really means so much to so many - raising awareness &amp; funds will help us continue this important work &amp; continue to provide support for those who need it.  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I can’t think of a better way to honour the 10th anniversary of the charity by focusing on my own physical &amp; mental health with this exciting, but daunting challenge - this will not be easy for me! 

</div>

<div>Although a real bonus for me will be the fact that my son, Iwan will also be making the trek with me - sharing this journey with him will really be a once in a lifetime experience!  

</div>

</div>

<div>Iwan; The DPJ Foundation was founded by one of my primary school teachers, who sadly lost her husband to suicide.  I did my first fundraising for DPJ at the age of 10 - 

</div>

<div>In the last 9 years the charity has encouraged all local schools, families &amp; friends of all ages to discuss their mental health, learn to recognise the signs of someone struggling &amp; most importantly the value of talking &amp; asking for help when needed.   

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you in advance for any contributions - it really means so much!  

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The DPJ Foundation is a charity that works with farmers &amp; the rural community to help beat the stigma around mental health. We offer support to people who want help through the confidential 24/7 call line &amp; rapid access to counselling. We also deliver mental health awareness &amp; bereavement support.
