My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Mental health and suicide prevention

In my 49th year I am giving myself 66 days to row 600km which is 1000m for everyone that lost their life to Suicide 21/22 and a little bit extra. I must keep my AVG/500m below 2.10 to keep me honest. Depression is an illness and I have to accept I have Major Depression Disorder. It is Ok to not be OK! It is OK to ask for help. I'm lucky to be above ground and will owe my wife, friends, medical experts and myself a massive amount of gratitude for the rest of my life. You can get better it is not easy but worth the fight. Kia Kaha to anyone battling with Depression. Love Cools

Legendary work, Brendon! Your message a while back on Gumboot Day was truly exceptional, thought provoking and clearly from the heart. I won't be forgetting that in a hurry, that's for sure!

Thank you so much Hamilton Boys High School staff for your kind donations. Having such a supportive workplace was massive in helping me get to the other side of depression. Hope other's that suffer are as lucky... Love Cools
