Learning to Push your Limits
“Through my time as a Big Brother, I’ve witnessed firsthand the profound impact mentorship can have. One memory that stands out is an adventure rowing to Darcy Island with my Little Brother. Despite the physical challenge, the experience reinforced the importance of pushing beyond our limits and the strength found in supportive relationships. This event not only promotes physical movement but also the movement toward a brighter future for our youth, echoing the invaluable lessons of perseverance and mutual support I’ve learned and developed through Big Brothers Big Sisters.”
