My Story
This summer I'm walking 630 miles (1000 km) along the whole of the South West Coast Path through Somerset, Cornwall, Devon and Dorset. I've organised the whole trip myself and will be hiking and camping solo the majority of the time (with the occasional visit from friends and family). It will be a tough challenge - with a total elevation gain equivalent to 4 x the height of Everest - but for a great cause as I'm fundraising for Black Minds Matter UK. BMMUK is a black-run charity providing professional mental health support for black individuals and families across the UK. As someone who's struggled with their mental health over the past few years (as many of us have, particularly over the pandemic), this is a cause I believe to be really worthwhile. I hope you consider donating to this amazing charity and sponsoring my walk! Follow @cecinthesouthwest on instagram for more in-depth daily updates :)
