Myself and my lovely friend Lynne will be taking part in Conwy Mind's brand new fundraising event - Seal Splash!

Talking about how you really feel can sometimes cause you to freeze and can also take your breath away. It's a courageous thing to do so I will be taking on a challenge that replicates the emotions of someone struggling to talk about how they feel. It will make me freeze and take my breath away - a cold water sea dip on Colwyn Bay Beach!

Thanks to the generous sponsors Tom Owen and Son every penny raised at the event goes direct to helping people struggling with their mental health in Conwy, Anglesey and Gwynedd.

As uncomfortable as it might feel at first, getting into cold water has proven health benefits so I will not only be helping to improve others mental health by raising vital funds but also improving my own wellbeing!
