Why I'm swimming 20km in March

My nephew, Willy, sadly died by suicide in October 2023.  Willy struggled with mental health issues for a very long time.  He didn’t get the help he so desperately needed. 

Would Willy still be here today if he had received the right help and support?  I believe so.

That’s why I’m going to swim 20km during the month of March.  I’m looking for as many sponsors as I can get, to give as much money as they can give.  Because I want to see more support available for young people who are finding life difficult and struggling with mental health issues.

Challenge accepted.  Bring it on.

Kez.
