A 13 year-old Armadale Academy student took on a charity hike to raise money for a mental health charity following recent teen suicides in the community.
Max Smith hiked the Pentlands with his grandfather, raising £1150 (£1000 over his £150 goal) for the charity YoungMinds that supports young people’s mental health.
Max, at just 13 years old, claims he felt compelled to raise funds to support young people’s mental health after hearing of other young people in West Lothian dying of suicide.
