Kayaker and mental health advocate Nick Ray is heading on a year-long journey into the wilderness.

"I really don't want to come across like I'm living it like an Instagram moment and showing off," Ray says. "That's not my objective at all.

"It feels like an indulgence to be stepping off out of the mainstream. I feel like I should somehow be more active to try and help."It was really lovely to hear, that by sharing my experiences that really in a way it is an antidote and people feel buoyed by that."Nick Ray hopes his journey will inspire others who have struggled with their mental health

As he heads out for open water, Ray hopes his 12-month voyage will become a symbol of hope for others. He adds: "If I can get through the winter and I can come through the other side into the spring time, into the summer, it's a bit like experiencing my depression. "I'll be going into the darkness and the blackness and coming out into the lighter world on the other side."
