I'm genuinely blown away by the support so far. This project is about real people and real hope. If you'd like to join for a short section, spend an evening wild-camping, or simply meet on the riverbank for a brew, I'd love to hear who you are, where you are along the Severn, and a little about your story. This is a filmed project — only apply if you're comfortable with being on camera.
I want to hear your stories — overcoming, rebuilding, or simply finding hope again. It doesn't have to be about mental health; anything real that could give someone else strength belongs here.
As a medical professional, listening to people around the world has always inspired me. I don't want that to stop just because I'm on the water — and I think these moments could become some of the most powerful parts of the video series.
Join for a few miles. Let's paddle, talk, and maybe help someone else find hope. (Filmed project — be camera-happy 🎥)
Come for a wild-camp evening — sit by the fire and share a chat about life.
I'm travelling the full 221 miles — meet me on the riverbank for a coffee and a conversation.
What I need from you (story-first):
⚠️ Very limited spaces for paddling & camping meet-ups, but I'll reply to everyone who submits.
Who you are, roughly where you are on the Severn, and a short version of your story.
