She did it!

Last Saturday, Jaya Mental Health Ambassador  Anna Rex completed the challenging Langtang Trail Race in Nepal – and thanks to her determination and the generosity of her supporters, she has raised over £3,000, including Gift Aid for Jaya Mental Health.

Anna’s race was far from easy. She woke up at 3am to thunderstorms and heavy rain, with the race start delayed until 10am due to poor visibility. The 32km route featured undulating trails, steep climbs, endless steps, challenging descents and temperatures reaching 30°C. Along the way, runners even had to stop to allow caravans of donkeys to pass!

Despite the demanding conditions, Anna pushed through and crossed the finish line after an incredible 7 ½ hours, finishing as the 10th female runner!

While completing the race was an amazing achievement in itself, the impact of Anna’s fundraising will be felt far beyond the finish line.

The funds raised will help Jaya Mental Health bring community mental health support to people living in areas where access to mental health care is extremely limited or non-existent. Through awareness, training, community outreach and local support, we can help ensure that more people experiencing mental health challenges have somewhere to turn for help.

From everyone at Jaya Mental Health, thank you, Anna. We are incredibly grateful for your dedication, resilience and commitment to improving mental health in Nepal. 💙

Please join us in congratulating Anna on this fantastic achievement! 👏🎉
