With only a few days to go until I take on the 210km self-sustained cycle challenge to raise money for I Have a Dream Charitable Trust we have adjusted our goal to give us a better chance of achieving it.
I Have a Dream Year 9 Navigator Rose Welsh is taking on a 210km ride to raise money for Rangatahi (youth) with the hope of inspiring young people, particularly young women to take on a challenge.
Rose shares what inspired her to take on this challenge in particular and what she has learned from her time being a Navigator as to why it's so important for young women to challenge themselves.
The wellbeing benefits of engaging in physical activity, and taking on a new challenge are well documented and include:
Taking on physical challenges can offer numerous wellbeing benefits for teenage girls, including:
- Improved Physical Health
- Mental Health Boost
- Enhanced Self-Esteem
- Social Connections
- Resilience
- Mindfulness and Focus
- Sense of Achievement
- Healthy Coping Mechanisms
- Better Sleep
- Lifelong Healthy Habits
Sometimes our young people need a role model to lead the way. Rose is certainly demonstrating strong female leadership and cutting a track for others to follow.
