In Omnia Paratus... On 30th March, I will be undertaking a solo endurance challenge following the guidelines below, raising funds for Blue Tree Project: - 12 hours elapsed time, cover maximum distance on foot, over terrain of choice - not allowed indoors, other than for emergencies/toilet access - no headphones for the full duration. The plan is formulated with a baseline testing week, followed by 11 weeks of training, strength testing and the final day 12 hr solo endurance challenge. My initial purpose for completing was personal, to partake in a 12 week training program designed to become "In Omnia Paratus - prepared in all things" and take myself to the metaphorical edge, both physically and mentally. A huge proponent of mental performance, I believe shifting the narrative surrounding mental health from a typically negative connotation, to one of deep understanding, pure possibility and limitless potential - paves the way for transformative change in the trajectory of peoples mental health. Having progressed through the training weeks and engaged in some incredible conversations from those curious about why on earth I'm putting myself through it, my purpose has extended well beyond my own body and goals. Through sharing my experience on the mental challenges, fortitude and strength acquired, all of which are equally relevant and transferrable to everyday life experiences, I hope it will continue to raise meaningful awareness and encourage others to kickstart their own journey of elevated mental health and performance, and support the work incredible organisations such as Blue Tree Project do in this space (kicking the stigma of mental health, one blue tree at a time). Finally, with our recent incredibly exciting news, my commitment to creating change in the mental health sphere has never been stronger, especially for our future generations. Your participation is very much appreciated, whether it's by donation, deepening your perspective, kickstarting your own journey, or perhaps reframing that conversation you've been struggling to have - it's all for the better. Thank you for reading this far, I am truly grateful and hope you've a great day.
