STEP INTO LIGHT - EVEREST - Raising funds for Mental Health
Every journey starts with a single step.
I will soon be taking thousands of them as I climb to Everest Base Camp in support of mental health.
I am embarking on this challenge not only for the adventure, but also to shine a light on an issue that affects so many young people: depression and mental wellbeing, something that matters deeply to me.
Every day, millions of young people struggle with mental health challenges in silence. Stigma, lack of resources, and societal pressures keep too many from seeking the help they need.
This crisis demands action. Together, we are forging a path forward where every young person feels safe to speak up and seek help, free of judgment, and surrounded by a community that truly cares.
My dream is that no other friend or family have to suffer the loss of someone they love to suicide. I'm raising money to benefit TIDE (Treatment Interrupts Depression Early) in partnership with the Douglas Foundation. All donations will go directly to the cause to help make an impact on youth and their futures.
Join me in taking the first step to support, learn, share, and support my initiative. Together, we can make a difference and #stepintolight
Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
