Business: Your Adventure Challenge

Email: mark@youradventurechallenge.com

I am a keen outdoors person that has taken part in many outdoor adventures from mountaineering to canoeing/ kayaking. I also take part in outdoor activities to raise money for charities. I am active in working with a wide range of charities.

What is your interest or experience of adventure for mental health or wellbeing?

After reading the Adventure Revolution book I attended the AdventureMind conference to understand what AdventureMind was about. I understood it completely as I related to what taking part had done for me and a member of my family. Prior to visiting the conference I introduced my self to Belinda at a speaking conference just to say thank you for the book. The book changed my life and I now recommend it on a regular basis.

How can you help us spread the word about AdventureMind’s mission?

Since reading the book and meeting with Belinda I understood the power of that adventure has on a person and how it does have a massive impact on a persons mind. I personally witnessed this myself but didn't understand it until it was wrote down . I now have a business that take people on outdoor adventures & challenges. We work with people wishing to take part in challenges in an effort to raise money for various charities. I feel that we can promote the Adventure mind mission through this business. We are just embarking on a big social media campaign and feel that we can include the adventure mind mission through this. We are working with suicide prevention charities and I know personally the power of adventure in assisting the prevention of suicide and I would like to champion this. We are becoming busier in the corporate sector and I also feel we can assist in promoting the adventure mind mission within this sector.
