A great place to start or continue your child's riding experience. Connection with horses brings hugely positive mental health benefits.

🐴 reducing cortisol (stress hormone)
🐴 boosting oxytocin (bonding hormone)
🐴 building cardiovascular fitness
🐴 improving coordination

A day of history in Northumberland.

Reflecting on the past, whether it be 2 months or 2000 years, is thought provoking.

Thoughts shape how we feel, behave and embrace the present and the future.

We can either learn valuable lessons from the past, or carry unhelpful thoughts and beliefs.

Thoughts repeated create neural pathways that can either be great or not so great. We want them to be great.

Recalling negative past experiences and holding onto them isn't learning lessons, you already did that at the time.

So knowing how to choose and keep hold of the positive things creates better ways to live, just like the many things the Romans created that are evident even today.

An anxious brain holds onto the negative, can't focus and doesn't serve us well.

Flipping the script through hypnotherapy has lasting positive impacts and works brilliantly to leave the negative memories firmly in the past.

Such an amazing Charity. Any support is welcomed, and check out Stepney's website too if you're loo keen to start riding!

Today’s peak versus Saturday’s peak! Plus 2 more on Saturday and 18 miles between them 😱. At least we won’t be pushing a heavy wheelbarrow on Saturday!

Please support if you can and help us to raise funds to take young people on residential this summer.

This is utterly spectacular. This young man is the epitome of what it means to be solution focused and beat the demons of negative forecasting. It's a complete irony that a brain so positive and full of determination will take an unwanted path at some point, but the good that he will do in the meantime is a testament to strength, courage, living in the present and taking one step at a time. Even with a fridge on his back. Truly inspiring 💛

I'm 29 and running the London Marathon with a fridge on my back.

Because we are all carrying something. And we don’t have to carry it alone.

I was 15 when my mum was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia.

No understanding. No roadmap. Just watching the person I loved slowly disappear.

For 6 years, my world became caring, grieving, and trying to make sense of something that never made sense.

Losing her piece by piece… and then losing her completely at 52.

In that same room where we were first told she had FTD, my life changed again.

I learned I had a 50% chance of inheriting it too.

That fear stayed with me.

It broke me at times.

But on the 12th September 2018, it became real.

I tested positive for the MAPT gene.

I will develop the same dementia in my 40s.

How do you process that?

Honestly… I didn’t, not at first.

I spiralled. Depression. Intrusive thoughts. Feeling like my future had already been written.

But what saved me was people.

Friends. Family. Support.

People who helped me carry the weight when it felt unbearable.

And that’s what this is about.

This marathon with a fridge on my back isn’t just a challenge.

It’s a symbol.

Because that’s what it feels like sometimes - like you’re carrying something heavy that no one else can see.

I’m doing this to make dementia visible.

But more than that… to show you that whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to carry it alone.
