13-Mile Hike in Memory of My Dad – William Martin Supporting Mental Health with Mind.

Hi, I’m Richard Martin, and I’m raising money for Mind, a charity that means a great deal to me and my family.

Recently I lost my dad to mental health. It’s something incredibly difficult to put into words — the pain, the questions, the grief. My dad was someone I loved deeply, and losing him has changed my life forever.

To honour his memory and help others who may be facing the same silent struggles, myself and family members will be doing a 13-mile hike through Derbyshire on Sunday the 14th of September. It’s our way of remembering him — step by step — and raising vital funds for a cause that’s close to our hearts.

Mind works to ensure that no one has to face a mental health problem alone. They offer life-changing support, campaign for better services, and fight to break the stigma that too often stops people from reaching out.

If you can, please consider donating. Every contribution — big or small — helps support someone who might be struggling right now. You’ll be helping Mind continue their incredible work, and you’ll be walking with us in spirit every mile of the way.

Thank you for your support, your kindness, and for helping us turn our grief into something that might just save a life.
