Hi, my name is Felipe Irvine. I am a 16-year-old aspiring Channel swimmer. Over the past few years, I have challenged myself by swimming the full length of both Lake Windermere and Ullswater. Those experiences have fuelled my passion for long distance swimming and prepared me for my biggest challenge yet, the English Channel.

I'm proud to support YoungMinds because every young person deserves access to mental health support. The charity provides advice, resources, and essential services for young people, like myself and their families. Every donation helps ensure that no young person has to face their mental health challenges alone.

I have chosen to support YoungMinds because I know what it's like to suffer in silence, feeling that speaking up would only burden others or that there is no one to turn to. I want to help ensure that every young person has access to the support they need and knows they are never alone.
