GB16: Swim for Mental Health
Donation protected
Our names are Jake and Josh Burella, and on August 26th of 2018, we will be attempting a 16km open water swim across Georgian Bay from Beach 3 in Wasaga Beach to the Harbour front terminals in Collingwood. Our goal is to raise money for mental health and bring awareness to the battle people go through when dealing with different types of mental illnesses. The duration of this swim will be roughly 8 hours, making the mental aspect even more challenging than the physical aspect.
When people go through bouts of mental illness, it must be taken on one step at a time. Over the course of the swim we will take roughly 385,000 strokes, making this a task that must also be taken one stroke at a time.
We hope to bring even more awareness to mental health in a society that already stands behind those who battle with mental illness every day.
Donations of any amount are welcomed.
