Why I’m Doing This
Fishing helped me out of a dark place. It gave me calm when I needed it most — and that’s why I’m passionate about supporting mental health.
I met Julian Sprung at a reef event and had these Reef Aquarium books signed. Now I’m putting them to work for a bigger cause.
Every penny raised will be passed to AAC to add to their Coral Freaks donation total for Mind.
