Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.
I'm swimming to save lives
Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia.
More than 1 in 3 are experiencing mental health difficulties, yet over a million are not getting the support they need.
ReachOut provides anonymous, free and 100% online services so young people can find a safe place to connect, share and get help when life feels overwhelming.
I’m taking part in Laps for Life to make sure these vital services are always there. Please donate to my fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve.

Woo Hoo!! I managed to smash out my last 3 ks today.with warm water in the Baths after the massive swell on the weekend as well as schools of fish to keep me company. One more day before the Laps For Life month is over so if you're planning on adding to this great cause for youth mental health support please jump on the link now. Share
Shiver me timbers!
27/3 - Cool in the pool this morning after yesterday's clean out and definitely felt it! A big shout out to everyone so far for your donations. We've cracked the $1k and still not quite at the finish line. I hit a personal milestone today and pushed through the coolness to clock 3ks up. 3kms more until 30 for the month. Share
