My name is Lindsay Hill, I am an Air Force Reservist currently pursuing a 2021 mile hiking challenge for military mental health awareness. I initially found my passion for hiking in 2016, in a time of darkness, struggling with the loss of a former boyfriend/Sailor and very recent news of a childhood friend/Army Veteran who recently took his life while I was at military training. Returning home feeling like a different person and even more misunderstood and damaged, I took to the trails where I found peace and belonging in times of severe heartache. The mountains have shown me that life is full of beauty and innocence and has given me the power to battle my demons while seeking professional help. Having such a passion for mental health awareness and the desire to normalize mental health, I have pledged a mile for every $10 dollars donated towards Boot Campaign's You Matter campaign. Boot Campaign has helped so many veterans, and I would love to help raise more funds so they can ensure veterans get the assistance they need. I will be sharing my journey on IG under the handle @Legenday_Lindsay for accountability, while discussing topics of mental health.
