Hunter locals paddling for a cause

It’s International Men’s Day, and a group of Hunter locals is taking on a mammoth kayaking event to support men’s mental health.

Nelson Bay’s Dave Wright and five mates are completing the five-day, 415-kilometre “Massive Murray Paddle”… to raise funds and awareness for “Talk To Me Bro”.

So far they’ve raised more than $12,000 – for education workshops in communities, schools and sporting clubs.
