In loving memory of Jake Brown

On sunday the 8th of December my brother had a freak accident. Swimming in the broadwater with his friends turned into an extensive search to find Jakes body.

Jake was swimming inside of what was meant to be a safe swimming enclosure for families and children and it cost him his life. Sitting on the white inflatable edge of the net he fell backwards and the current pulled Jake under the water and pushed him against the shark/jellyfish nets causing him to become tangled in the large holes of the unmaintained nets which result in him failing to resurface. Many people tried to save him but could not dive down as deep as Jake was.

The council have now closed the beach indefinitely and I hope they remove every one of these swimming enclosures along the Gold Coast before it happens to another family.

I am raising money to be able to hold a memorial service for Jake as all our family could provide was an unattended cremation and my brother deserves so much more than that.

Thank you all for helping my family through one of the darkest times in our lives, even if you can't donate please share!!
