This October, Yachtie Minds Matter is proud to take part in Marathon for Mental Health — a flexible 26.2-mile challenge that can be completed by running, walking or hiking, anywhere in the world.

You can complete the distance in one day, across several weekends, or through smaller walks throughout the month. However you choose to take part, each mile carries the same message: no one should have to face a difficult season alone.

Life at sea can be deeply rewarding, but it can also bring isolation, burnout, grief, workplace pressure and challenging onboard environments. For many crew members, reaching out for help is already an act of courage. Accessing professional support should not become another obstacle.

Yachtie Minds Matter provides confidential access to funded therapy for yacht crew who need someone qualified, compassionate and independent to turn to.

Every donation made through this page helps fund professional therapy for crew members who may otherwise be unable to access it. It can offer someone a safe place to speak, space to breathe, and support when the weight of life at sea becomes too much to carry alone.

Every mile, every share and every donation matters.

Together, we can help ensure that yacht crew always have somewhere to turn when they need support most.
