Pearl Poke

Let’s get to know me

Hello everyone,

My name is pearl poke and I'm a 17-years-old who has seen firsthand how mental health struggles can deeply affect lives. Mental health challenges are something that have touched me personally and those close to me, this being said I am determined to make a difference. That's why I've decided to take on a swimming challenge to both raise funds and raise awareness for mental health.

Growing up, I have always found strength and peace in the ocean. The feeling of the water against my skin and the rhythm of my heart have provided me with a sense of peace and clarity. Now, as it does with my mum to her love for the ocean has been passed down and I want to channel that love for the ocean into something meaningful. I am undertaking a swimming challenge with the goal of raising funds for mental health this will offer support, therapy, and resources to those in need.

This challenge will not only help raise awareness and funds but will also be a personal journey towards bettering my own mental health. As I swim each day, I will be reminded of the importance of resilience and the value of taking care of oneself. It’s a journey of both physical and mental endurance, and I am excited to share this experience with you.

Your support will make a huge.

Please join me in making waves for mental health. Together, we can create a ripple effect of support and hope. Thank you for your generosity and encouragement as I take on this challenge
