The Ride East Coast

Hello everyone hope you have all been well.

Sorry for not writing for the last 4 months. We had a very busy summer on the beach and every time I was free I had something on. I'm excited to write to you all again and give you a little laugh and something positive to think about.

SUMMER 

As I said above our summer as lifeguards has been very busy this year. We had a lot of warm sunny beautiful days. A few crap ones but that doesn't matter :) . This summer season was my 6th season as a lifeguard 2nd year as a seasonal lifeguard. I can still proudly say I love my job and the team I work with. It has taken a few years to get to where I am now I don't regret one thing, some good some bad but that's life. Obviously if you were in an emergency job for 6 years you would see a few things. Some of you may know that sometimes lifeguards respond to more serious incidents, having cliffs around bondi, Bronte,Tamarama police sometimes call us for people that have either jumped or fallen off these cliffs. I have dealt with 3 and the most recent one was 1month ago myself and jesse responded to a deceased person in the water off Bronte point. I know this is a dark bit for my blog but its sad that this is becoming more common we have had 4 call outs this month for people jumping. Anyway in the last 3 months I have been a proud ambassador for headspace ( youth suicide prevention bullying, depression, homophobia) I went down to Melbourne 3 days after that recent body retrieval to talk to a group of people in Mel CBD about why I am a proud ambassador for headspace . I told everyone the truth it's because I don't want to continue seeing young people giving up on life there is so much to live for, I know I'm not doctor and this isn't my field if you are reading this you are special and unique there is help out there people to talk to.  "LIFE IS GOING TO BE LONG AND TOUGH, BUT  HEY  LET'S MAKE IT FUN" 

On a lighter note a lot of you that follow Instagram and Twitter will see myself and Jesse talking about The Ride East Coast. I am going to explain to you all what it is. We are Riding jetski's from Sydney to cairns. That's about 2,500km of open ocean. We will be travelling roughly 150km a day, we will be fundraising along the way to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention. The charity we are fundraising for is ( headspace) We need your help to raise funds to make this trip possible. We need to make $100,000 in 40 days from a $5pledge to $3000, you can pledge from anywhere in the world. If we can make this film  we will be changing young people's lives all over the world and that's the main reason why we are doing this for everyone at home that is feeling down we want to show you how fun life can be.

BE APART OF THE RIDE............
