Welcome to today’s Feel Good Thoughts where I share with you a interview with the inspiring Damien Rider.
Damien undertook a solo paddle of 800km from Gold Coast to Bondi Beach with zero support crew, it was 17 days of the paddle journey with many challenges along the way including crossing shark breeding grounds, limited food and water, fatigue and hunger.
Growing up Damien had a tough childhood, being a victim of child abuse and was determined to find his peace, and ensure it doesn’t happen to another child, so he set off on the solo paddle to help raise awareness against child abuse and also paddle for his foundation PACA – Paddle Against Child Abuse.
The film displays a story of courage, inspiration and belief that anything is possible.
Throughout this episode, Damien shares about his experience on the paddle, some challenges he went through, along with what motivated him and inspired him whilst he was on the paddle.
