Remy's story
Hi, I’m Remy and I've been qualified as a mental health nurse for nearly 15 years. I have a passion for supporting parity of esteem – ensuring equality between mental health and physical health for the patients I work with. I have loved supporting my Trust charity in the past by helping to deliver Christmas presents to patients and running the vitality 10k in 2024, but this year I will be setting myself my biggest challenge yet! On 29th August I will be taking on the National 3 Peaks Challenge. This HUGE challenge will be mentally and physically demanding as I take on the 3 highest mountains in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon) all within 24 hours! I will be hiking a distance of 37km and an altitude of 10,170 feet.
I will be engaging in an intense training programme to prepare me over the next coming months. There will be blood, sweat and tears… blisters, grit and glory!

Evelyn is diving into London’s iconic Swim Serpentine to raise funds for our Trust’s charity. She’ll be swimming in Hyde Park’s famous Serpentine lake to support mental health services that make a real difference across our communities.
I wanted to take on a unique challenge and do something meaningful — this is the perfect way to combine both.
