I've recently recovered from cancer and while I was ill I was thinking about what I really loved doing. What I was really passionate about.
Growing up I would always spend time outdoors playing sports, camping and hiking with friends. As I grew up I started to get disconnected with nature, me and my friends who loved the outdoors were starting move in different social circles and some even got married and had kids which limited their time to spend doing adventurous things.
So, I had the thought of creating a community of like-minded people who love the outdoors. I am a personal trainer and qualified hiking guide, so I started to put on local hikes for my clients which they loved.
While speaking to them on my hikes they expressed how much, like me, they loved the outdoors and enjoyed being a part of the little community while on the hikes.
Now I would like to grow the community and to reach people that may be in need of a new social circle and benefit from being outdoors. Like me when I was bed bound - staring at the trees outside - just wishing that I could once again get outside and be active around like minded people.
We live in such a beautiful part of the world, and I believe that getting more people outside to experience it, and educating them on the benefits to improve not only their own physical, social and mental wellbeing but also ways to look after their local environment will benefit the community and local nature / habitat as one.
I plan to do more hikes and local adventures and would really appreciate your donation to help me achieve my dream to help others.
