Heel To Heal - The Big Walk For Mental Health

Event dates: Wednesday 13th May – Sunday 19th July

Craig Lewis is taking on an extraordinary challenge, walking from John O’Groats to Land’s End to raise money for The Big Communitea.

Starting on 13th May, Craig will spend around 65 days crossing the country on foot. 

This journey is far more than just miles walked. It represents every step Craig has taken to rebuild his life. After losing his home, family, and marriage to addiction, and battling severe mental health struggles, Craig reached a turning point in 2025. With one small but powerful step, he chose change. Since then, step by step, heel to heal, he has been walking his way back to health, stability, and hope.

That’s why this challenge carries such a powerful message: heal to heel. Every step forward is a reminder that healing isn’t instant, it’s a journey. It’s about putting one foot in front of the other, even on the hardest days, and believing that change is possible.

For Craig, this walk is deeply personal. But for us, it’s something even bigger. It shows the life-changing impact of mental health support and the power of community. It reflects everything The Big Communitea stands for a safe, supportive space where people can rebuild, reconnect, and realise they are not alone.

There are so many people like Craig people who have hit rock bottom but are trying to find their way back. With the right support, understanding, and opportunity, recovery is possible. Your donation doesn’t just support one man’s journey, it helps create many more stories of hope, healing, and second chances.

If Craig can take these steps, so can others with your help.
Please give what you can and be part of something truly meaningful.

Help us continue to heal through every heel.
