Sam's Dare to Dips

Hi guys, my name is Sam.

A little bit about myself...
I struggled with my Mental Health for years, specifically anxiety and depression.
This anxiety started in school and I had no idea what this feeling was in my chest. I soon learnt that it was not physical pain but a mental one.
Later in life, I turned to alcohol and drugs, which soon escalated leading me to go off the rails. This only heightened my anxiety and escalated my feelings of depression. 

At the start of Covid, I started seeing signs of the old me coming back and wanted to nip that feeling in the bud.
I then discovered Cold Water Therapy, which I began to do some independently research. I decided to build up a tolerance to train my body with 30 days of cold water showers.
And then like everything else I do in my life, I wanted to take this to the next level.

As it has been a year from hell for everyone, with the Pandemic, I thought why not on Monday the 15th of March 2021  to make a change to make this a year to remember for the right reasons.
And that was to take a dip in the North Sea every day for a year! 

So let's come together and take on Mental Health. 

There are always people with hidden anxieties and depression, and this is for you.
Start the showers, join me or a dip or donate.

See you on the sand,
Peace, 
Sam
