PAGE 10 BAY HARBOUR Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Wednesday September 18 2019 News Swim for mental health •From page 1 Nico said thinking about his sister helped push him to meet his goal. He was born with a type of cerebral palsy called hemiplegia, and undertook the swim with limited mobility in his right arm and leg. Between 9.30am and 6.30pm, Nico had only three 20min breaks. It is estimated with the number of donations on the day and with further funds to come through, he will raise more than $10,000 for the New Zealand Mental Health Foundation. Nico said he was feeling tired at the end of the challenge but happy he had finished what he started and he had “so much support.” The swim was held at the Waitaha Swim Club, which is based out of the Canterbury Swim School, in Hornby. WHERE TO GET HELP: If you are worried about your own or someone else’s mental health, visit your GP or local mental health provider.

Nico’s mother Keiran Horne said he showed immense “strength of character.” “He not only finished the 16km but he finished with a smile on his face. I was immensely proud of him. It was awesome,” she said. Ms Horne said the swim club had an instructor swimming alongside Nico all day who encouraged him every step of the way. His friends jumped in the pool to support him too, she said. “There was always somebody swimming alongside him in the other lane, which helped him along,” she said. Ms Horne said she was “flabbergasted” at how well Nico went but the exhaustion “really hit him” in the evening. .•To support Nico’s effort donations can be made at the Givealittle page https:// givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/ nicos-16-kilometer-swim •SUICIDE CRISIS HELPLINE: 0508 828 865 (0508 TAUTOKO) (available 24/7) •YOUTHLINE: 0800 376 633 •NEED TO TALK?

Home and back to reality WOW, DROPPING a casual 20-odd deg C in day-to-day temperature is unfriendly. Luckily for Vittoria, she’s barely seemed to notice the change from T-shirts and dresses to trackies and cardies. As you might have guessed from the weather whinge, we’re back from our Italian holiday and getting back into the normal routine. Before we jumped back into our delightful South Island freshness, we stopped in Brisbane to ease through the jetlag. Vittoria was again a complete professional on the flights, spending most of her time asleep in my arms. I had worried that, with us arriving into Australia at night, that would mean her rhythms would be stuffed. But again, she smashed it. Straight to sleep when we got to her aunty’s and back into a normal rhythm without trouble. I, on the other hand, became a big sudden-onset-nap fan for a few days. As a kind of final act of the holiday, we took Vittoria to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. As well as touching a koala, she also surprised her mother and I by being brave enough to hand feed and pat a kangaroo.

She’d then reach back for more or lean in for a stroke of neck fur like she’d been raised from Steve Irwin himself. I can’t wait to see if her new confident attitude towards animals will translate to feeding the previously “terrifying” deer at Willowbank. This week may even be the perfect time to try, as Laura is back to work and it will be the first time it’s been just me and bubs for a long time, so furry distractions might be just the thing. I’m a little worried about VITTORIA & Matt We will deliver! CUDDLY: Vittoria hand-feeds a kangaroo at Brisbane’s Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. how she’s going to go with just dad about for most of the day after seeing how close she’s got with Laura while we’ve been away. Not that I’m saying that’s bad, that’s been beautiful to see. I’m just worried I alone might be a little lame for her until she is used to it again. Fingers crossed for fine weather and lots of entertaining outdoor distraction during the readjustment period. •Former Bay Harbour News journalist Matt Salmons has become a stay-at-home dad.
