Story


So myself and Janet have decided to embark on a Thelma and Louise style adventure (with out the driving off a cliff bit!).

We have spent many hours over lock down talking about all the adventures we are going to have once restrictions relaxed and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to pursue those aspirations. 

For myself and many other people mental health and its  journey can sometimes be an uphill battle, it ebbs and flows and has an irritating ability to disarm us unexpectedly.
For me jumping into the freezing cold sea is about letting go.. Mainly of my clothes and possibly my dignity but most importantly of the past and all the things that cant be undone. Its about connecting with a true friend and supporting each other to push ourselves out of comfort zones.
It's about healing and empowerment and freedom.

The last few months have been grueling for many with Mental Health Services on their knees. 

We really want to do something positive in response to this and raise as much money as possible. 
So please donate what you can.
Thanks
