## Resource

Michael “Mouse" Jenkinson is a highly decorated yet extremely humble Bondi Lifeguard. On December 14 last year, the man they nicknamed “Mouse” was about to complete a normal day of work at the beach with his colleagues when he two gunman started firing high powered rifles at innocent people. Fifteen people lost their lives and many more would have, if not for the courage of countless people like Jenkinson who ran towards danger - not away from it. Aside from the precious lives lost, as many as 40 people were wounded. In this episode of Chiming In, Jenkinson recalls that fateful day and how it will change the lives of so many forever. At tragic as the circumstances were, Jenkinson’s story - like so many other first responders - will inspire you.
