M2M is a charity that I came across a couple of years ago, the founder Ed Jackson and his wife Lois being personal aquaintances and the best type of people out there. Tenacious, hilarious, always on the go and beyond passionate to bring the healing properties that blue and green outdoor spaces provide, to those who need it the most. Mountains in particular can bring an immense and overpowering sense of calm, groundedness and peace through the majestic Great Outdoors. 

This is so personal to me because after 7 years of starving myself from mountains and the outdoors due to survivors' guilt after my father and I fell in a mountain accident (my father tragically didn't survive), when did I finally get myself into the great outdoors again, I began my own internal journey of healing and mental wellness. I passionately believe that everyone should have the opportunity to get to experience the healing nature of the great playground found in mountains and oceans.

ABOUT THE CHARITY - Home : M2M Foundation (millimetres2mountains.org) 

Whether it be mental health such as anxiety and depression or overcoming a physical disability, M2M believe in the healing power of purpose, progress and perseverance. These main three pillars are the foundation of Millimetres 2 Mountains. They are woven into the fabric of everything M2M do, who they are and more importantly what they hope to offer others through events, adventures and support programmes. 

This charity is simply brilliant- bringing beneficiaries into the great outdoors where they otherwise might struggle to get into.
