Hiking Snowdon for Mental Health Awareness!

By Olivia Sturley

I'm fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness on behalf of our beloved George

Hello everyone!

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! I am currently fundraising on behalf of Rethink Mental Illness, an incredible charity who provide support to people struggling with their mental health. 

I am fundraising for Rethink Mental Illness by hiking Snowdon on the 18th of April 2025. This is on behalf of my partners brother, George Newton, who sadly lost his life to suicide in September 2024. George was a beautiful light in the world and loved the outdoors, so we are celebrating his life by completing this hike and hoping to support an amazing charity at the same time. 

The goal of this fundraiser is to continue to raise awareness and funds for such a vital cause. On this hike, I am joined by my partner, Harry, and our incredible friends, Izzy, Luke, Rosie, and Toby. 

Together I believe that everyone can make a difference in any way that is accessible to you, by fundraising, sharing information or raising money for charities that to continue to support people through their difficult times. 

Thank you so much for your support, it means so much to me.

We did it!!

Sunday 20th Apr
Today we hiked snowdon, all in memory of our beautiful George ❤️ I know he would be so proud of us doing this and raising money on his behalf. He really was an incredible soul who loved this kind of thing, and I’m so thankful to him for giving me the courage to do this amazing hike. Thank you so much to every single person who supported us, I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am for every single penny and message of support. Rethink Mental Illness is an incredible charity doing work all over the UK to support those struggling with their mental health. We all feel very lucky to be able to do this for them. Thank you thank you thank you 🫶🏻

Update

Saturday 19th Apr
We unfortunately had to postpone the hike until tomorrow (Sunday the 20th) due to some pretty crazy weather conditions when we got half way up. We are all upset that we couldn’t finish it on our planned day, however for safety and comfortability decided to wait until the weather calms down. We are expecting some good weather tomorrow, but we will be doing it come rain or shine.

Starting

Friday 18th Apr
