Members of the Leigh ocean swimmers turned out in force to support the Due Drop Hope Challenge team when it came through the district earlier this month.
The swimmers did a four kilometre swim from Matheson Bay to Ti Point in support, where they rendezvoused with the team at the wharf.
Mike King, Rick Wells and Ian Jones then swam to the Omaha Surf Club, where the challenge continued to Auckland on bikes.
The team is due in Wellington around Wednesday this week. It was organised to raise awareness of the struggles young people face accessing counselling, despite a $1.5 billion investment by the current government.
