<div>G’day legends,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name’s Jono, and I’m the bloke behind Big Reds Aussie Adventures — or B.R.A.A.86 on YouTube. What started as a few fishing trips with a camera has grown into something I never could’ve imagined — and something that’s now driving a much bigger mission.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A few years ago, I was told that due to both mental and physical health issues, I was no longer able to work. That hit me hard. I was raised to believe that providing for your family was your responsibility — and hearing that news made me feel like I’d failed not just myself, but my family too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Some mates suggested I try YouTube — something to help fill the void that came with no longer being able to work. I laughed it off at first — reckoned there were already too many people doing it. But they told me to do something that actually meant something to me… something I was passionate about. And that’s how Big Reds Aussie Adventures was born.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I decided I’d use it as a platform to help raise awareness for mental health within the veteran community — something that hits very close to home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This matters to me for a few big reasons:
</div>
<div>1️⃣ I’ve personally struggled with my own mental health.
</div>
<div>2️⃣ I’ve lost mates and colleagues to suicide.
</div>
<div>3️⃣ I’ve had family members who’ve come close to losing their own battles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Up until now, I’ve been funding this myself, and as the channel has started to gain momentum, I’ve had multiple people reach out asking how they can contribute or donate. I feel like the best step forward now is to officially turn Big Reds Aussie Adventures into a charity. I’m seeking help to raise the funds needed to make that happen — to turn this dream into a legitimate charity so others can donate and help us grow the mission, reach more people, and continue raising awareness.

<div>Through our YouTube episodes, we bring veterans together for a day out on the water — completely free for them — to reconnect, open up, and realise they’re not alone. Sometimes it’s the simple things — a fish, a laugh, a chat — that can turn someone’s day, or even life, around.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation helps us grow this mission and support more veterans doing it tough. And if you can’t donate, even just sharing this helps more than you know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks for backing me — and for backing our veterans.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Much love,
</div>
<div>Jono
