Kev's Ready to Face the Mighty Murray River in his Kayak

Kev Cook is on a mission to paddle down the entire Murray River in his kayak to promote awareness of mental health issues in regional towns and farming communities.

After visiting the Flow studios about a month ago to talk about his upcoming paddle, Kev joined Anita on the Country Viewpoint today for an update, before he takes on the Murray in 11 days.

You can follow Kev's journey on his Facebook page, or donate online at Aussies helping Aussies.

Flow FM will also be checking in with Kev during his paddle.
