Although primarily he is doing it for his own mental health, he is also raising money for two charities: Headway - which is for acquired brain injury and Tough to talk - a mens mental health charity. Clive’s Story “My name is Clive; I’m 58 and have been suffering with my mental health since the age of 15. At the age of 15 I witnessed my 8 year old brother’s death, and since then I’ve been struggling with my mental health. With this I’ve had anger issues also drink problems in my early teens and into my late 20’s. This has also led to two failed marriages and many thoughts of ending my life and one planned attempt. I have had a number of different therapies and counselling sessions which has helped but I still have a wall I can’t break through. In the last 8 years I have found faith and have started to attend Church and have been trusting God to guide me through the tough times. Since joining Church I’ve found love again and I’m now happily married where my wife is giving me support. Clive Ellis This walk is a way for me to find myself and spend time alone with God and hopefully start breaking down that wall. The walk will take me from the Waterside near the New Forest to Lands End Cornwall which is roughly 256 miles taking between 2 to 3 weeks where I will be sleeping outdoors each night with only my sleeping bag wherever my walk for the day concludes.” If you would like to support Clive please follow the just giving links: https://www.justgiving.com/page/ clive-elkins-1 or https://www.justgiving.com/ page/clive-elkins-4
