Kit Birks

Kit Birks is an adventurer, author, and activist using endurance, storytelling and public speaking to challenge stigma around mental illness and suicide. 

After overcoming addiction and navigating her own journey with bipolar disorder and ADHD, Kit now dedicates her second chance at life to help others find hope in theirs. She is currently undertaking a solo 5,000 mile walk across the length of Europe to raise awareness for suicide prevention, pushing the limits of endurance to amplify conversations that have been silenced for far too long.

Through her writing, speaking and challenges Kit’s mission is simple: to prove that even in life’s darkest moments, it is possible to find the light again.
