Kayaking Lake Wakatipu to raise funds for Mental Health.
Southland
Hi everyone,
I am Brooke, I'm 20 and I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. I have had many rough days and multiple hospital admissions but I am finally on my way to improving my mental state.
On my journey, I have become very passionate about Mental Health and Suicide. I now have my heart set on becoming an advocate for these topics and what's the best way to start doing this than fundraising.
The charities I’m fundraising for are:
- The Mental Health Foundation NZ
- I Am Hope
- Lifeline
- Voices of hope
My fundraiser involves just me, myself and I (along with a support boat for health & safety reasons) kayaking the length of Lake Wakatipu. That's 80km, Glenorchy to Kingston. The reason I am doing this is to raise money for Mental Health. It will be physically and mentally demanding, which is what it's like to struggle with mental health.
I am hoping to complete this challenge around Easter time in 2022. It would be greatly appreciated if I could have your support and if possible I would love if you could donate. It will be going to such an important cause that is close to my heart and many others in NZ.
Thank you so much
Brooke
