I chose to join a hike with HIKE for Mental Health to help stamp out the stigma of mental illness and conserve wilderness trails.
In 2015, I joined HIKE for Mental Health and climbed Bear Mt. with amazing people who have the same passion as mine. This year I motivated myself to get back into hiking and have been doing it quite weekly compared to a few times a year. Going into nature has improved my own mental health and I love everything about hiking no matter the distance. It’s always an adventure.
I want to give back and support those who deal with mental illness. As a social worker, I see it affect so many people and this year definitely hasn’t been easy due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Mental health affects all of us differently and I want others to know I care by joining this virtual hike for the month of October.
Starting the month of October, my goal is to hike/walk 25 miles and reach $100 in donations. I will be hiking/walking locally which may include state parks, preservations, trails, etc. unless I feel adventurous and go to PA or NY. After each hike/walk, I will update my page to keep everyone informed on reaching my goals. No pressure at all but any support is very much appreciated.
