Daniel is new to Ben’s Ski For Life team this year, so the two of them sit down after the dust has settled to crack a couple of cans and recap what was an epic event, running through their highlights and the impact that it had.   Daniel also shares why he was so keen on getting involved in Ski For Life in the first place, opening up on his own battles with the black dog and unpacking plenty of life lessons that he has learned on the fly that plenty of us will be able to relate to.    If you would like to get behind the team’s recent effort, and the great work that Ski For Life do supporting mental health, wellbeing and suicide prevention, you can donate here -     https://chuffed.org/fundraiser/the-college-2026     To find out more about Ski For Life, check out –   https://www.skiforlife.com.au/     Check out Caitlin Drew and the song she wrote for Ski For Life here –   https://open.spotify.com/track/6PUyEte3CdL3OmcCsAHVTB?si=IHfGjZZNTfuL39UIN9leUQ     Feeling thirsty?
