Day 2, session 1
Did 924 (28 laps) metres at Belgrave Pool!! Mixture of Breaststroke, on my back kicking, freestyle, and backstroke.
Today we began ..

We are swimming as we want to raise awareness- suicide has a ripple effect!

Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia.
it doesnt only have the impact on that person... it has a ripple effect. Their parents, siblings, their friends. We all care, we all want to help.
its hard on the person who is suffering their illness, and we want them to gain the appropriate help.
Our Impact
So far We’ve raised $7,265 to provided 1816.13 young people experiencing mental health difficulties with vital support.

I tried to join the team, but you have to swim every day, and I can only manage a few swims a week! Esko has started riding on my back when i swim, which is super cute. So I can manage mini laps now. We will be thinking of you. Xxx
