One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I swam accross the Murray Darling River from New South Wales to Victoria, Australia. 350 mtrs of freezing water and strong currents with zero possibilities of getting rescued! Nearly died!
Organised a Childrens Carnival that facilitated almost 3000 orphans and street kids. Started this foundation called SMILE Sri Lanka.
