​ Stage Two: The Spine of Albion Trek Begins!

​The First Alignment is Complete!

​I have successfully completed the monumental St Michael Alignment Trek—over 400 miles from Hopton-on-Sea to St Michael's Mount! Thank you to every single person who donated, shared, and offered a kind word. Your support powered every single step and helped us get to 89% of our fundraising goal!

​Now: The Spine of Albion

​The mission doesn't stop here. Starting today, I am embarking on Stage Two of my hike for mental health: Walking the Spine of Albion from Southampton.

​This new challenge will continue the same vital mission and goals:

​To raise essential awareness and funds for Mind, the mental health charity.

​To actively show men that it's okay not to be okay.

​To normalise speaking about emotions and feelings.

​To assure everyone that it's okay not to suffer in silence.

​Every donation you make now continues to serve two critical purposes:

​Directly Support the Mind Charity (The Main Goal): Funding their essential mental health services.

​Sustain the Spine of Albion Trek: Helping cover my essential costs so I can focus on completing this next monumental journey and raising awareness.

My Mission: Walking 400 Miles for Mental Health

​This Monday, October 13th, I'm embarking on a monumental, month-long pilgrimage across the length of England: The St Michael Alignment Trek!

​I will walk over 400 miles from Hopton-on-Sea (Norfolk) to the iconic St Michael's Mount (Cornwall). This journey is about healing, reconnection, and walking with deep intention. Every step is for anyone who's ever struggled, healed, or started again.

​The Alignment: A Spiritual & Historical Line

​This isn't just a walk; it’s a spiritual and historical journey along a straight, ancient "ley line" connecting some of the UK's most powerful sites, from coast to coast.

​Over 31 days, I will stick as closely as possible to this line, traversing the landscape of England and visiting:

​ The ancient stones of Avebury

​ The legendary Glastonbury Tor

​ The historic Cadbury Castle

​...and much more, culminating at St Michael's Mount.

​The Real Purpose: Supporting Mind, the Mental Health Charity

​While completing the trek is a huge personal goal, the real purpose is to raise vital funds for Mind, the mental health charity.

​This cause is deeply important to me, and all the money raised through this GoFundMe page will go directly towards helping Mind provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem.

​Walking heals, talking helps, and we are all connected along this line of light. Let’s turn miles into meaningful support.

​Special Detour for Double the Impact!

​While I aim to stick to the alignment, I'm making one crucial detour to maximize our fundraising impact:

​On November 1st, I will be making a stop in Northampton for the 'State Of It. Outbreak' event. This detour is particularly exciting because all money raised from the 'State of It' event is also being donated to Mind! This stop will allow us to make an even bigger impact for this incredible charity.

​Why I Need Your Help: Sustain the Trek ️

​This monumental journey requires significant resources to cover the full month of walking, especially when following an ancient, often remote, line rather than standard routes.

​Every donation you make will serve two critical purposes:

​Directly Support the Mind Charity (The Main Goal): Funding their essential mental health services.

​Sustain the Trek: Help cover my essential costs so I can focus on completing the journey and raising awareness. These costs include basic accommodation (campsites/budget stays), resupply, gear maintenance, and safety expenses over the 31 days.

​Please consider donating today to help me reach my fundraising goal. Every pound not only keeps me on the path to St Michael's Mount but also helps someone receive the mental health support they need.

​Let’s walk this line together for an incredible cause!
