Cold Water Warrior - 300 Day Challenge

Hi my name is Anthony

I am an ex serviceman with a long history of mental health issues in relation to my time spent deployed overseas.

I have recently been diagnosed with PTSD. The diagnosis has been a massive weight lifted off my shoulders and facilitated my treatment.

In December 2022 I had a friend who was going into the sea, sounds crazy doesn’t it? Well turns out this was the best thing I had ever done with regards to my mental state. As soon as my head hits the water all my fears, anxiety and other negative emotions disappear.

So with that said I want to give something back, to offer something amazing to people going through things no matter how significant or insignificant you think it is. And best of all it’s FREE

I am going to do 300 Days of cold water immersions in a row.

I have chosen two charities to split the money raised between.

Womens AID ABCLN & Mens Alliance NI (MANU)

these two charities are primarily based for those who have been the victims of all types of abuse from their partners but the statistics state that anywhere up to 90% of the victims have mental health issues.

The money raised will allow both organisations to extend their reach and services to help more Men and Women in our communities.
