Staithes man's steps to recovery lead to mental health charity fundraiser
Staithes man Adam Clark will walk from York to Staithes at the end of August to raise much needed found for mental health charity Mind.
Adam, 42, says that the challenge is more than just a fundraiser, it’s something that is deeply personal to him.
He said: “I’ve experienced serious mental health challenges during my life, and there were times when I never imagined I’d be where I am today.
“Walking became a huge part of my recovery. It gave me peace, helped clear my mind and, step by step, helped me rebuild my life.
“Staithes became my place of healing. It’s where I found hope again, and today it’s the place I proudly call home.
“That’s why I’m walking from York back to Staithes – to raise money for Mind, so more people can receive the support they need when they’re facing their own mental health challenges.
“Every donation, no matter the amount, will help make a difference.
“My hope is not only to raise as much money as possible for Mind, but also to show that recovery is possible and that no one has to face their struggles alone.”
