Share a Coffee and Help Me Fund My Challenges

Goal:

To inspire others. We only get one shot at life, there’s no reruns. So let’s get out there!

Reason for doing this:

The reason for doing this is that my friend unfortunately took his own life at the age of 33 due to Mental Health difficulties and it made me wake up and realise I need to pursue my passion. I want to raise awareness of the importance of Mental and Physical Health. Also my close friends and I have either been impacted by Mental or Physical Health difficulties or lost family members in recent years and I too have had my own challenges and I have found enormous solace through sport and adventure and I want to spread the importance and benefit of this.
