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.My Swim Progress

Good on you girl 🩷
Anita, as a diagnosed Bi-polar person I had the family conscious mind set that food is medicine, if you correctly eat foods that address your mental and body health, your naturally medicating yourself for your issues, hence I never took the drugs prescribed, instead added foods that simply addresses and in fact eradicates the symptoms, I studied a lot on the subject and have no side effects and now live a perfectly balanced life in mental and physical health. I applaud you in your endeavours in reaching out to help others, kudos and love. BB
