Niall Breslin’s epic kayaking challenge aims to raise funds for youth mental health
Starting June 30th, Bressie and friends will be kayaking the length of the River Shannon – a whopping journey of over 300km. Dubbed "The Rising", the challenge will start at Dowra on the shores of Lough Allen and it will end at the mouth of the Shannon in Limerick City on July 6th, at King John's Castle
A row for future minds
"The Rising" is more than just a fundraising challenge for Breslin. “It is a metaphor for life really”, says Breslin. “We all encounter rough parts of life, and while it's not always easy, with the right tools and skills, navigating through these stormy times becomes less daunting. Our school programs aim to do exactly that - equip the children of Ireland with the necessary skills and tools to cope with life’s challenges, and that work has to begin now. We know the power of early intervention models of care.”
