Hello everyone, my name is Jack, I am doing my first ever fundraiser for a charity called Break the Silence. This organisation has saved me. This organisation is for people, men or women, that have experienced childhood sexual abuse. I feel strongly about this, and I am taking this opportunity to tell people that I was sexually abused as a child, and that it was not my fault.

I am going to paddleboard Loch Lomond from Balloch to Tarbet with a group of friends. This is a approximately 18 miles so not for the faint hearted!

I'm doing this to raise awareness and to remind people that if you have experienced sexual abuse, it was not your fault. It's ok to speak out, get therapy, and in my case find justice.

At the beginning of the year in February I became the world champion in an ice bath in a record time of 6 hours and 1 minute. Ice dipping (in rivers and around waterfalls) has helped me hugely with the challenges that I face and has introduced me to a great new group of people. Being close to the water for me is therapy in itself so I am looking forward to a different type of fresh water challenge this time.

If you can help- even with just £1 - to help me reach my target I would be very grateful.
