Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because I am aware early intervention can have a really positive effect on young people’s lives. I am swimming this March because I understand it is difficult for most young people to express their fears anxieties and confusion let alone come to terms with their internal battles. Too many young lives are broken before they get off the starting blocks because they didn't know where to turn to be heard understood and valued? Too many young lives are lost to suicide they to slipped through the cracks in our support systems and in our awareness. I hope the laps I swim help to raise awareness of the need for young people to be seen heard and uplifted. I hope every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.

Double the impact!
Thanks to the great partnership Laps 4 Life has with 7-Eleven, every donation made to Laps for Life page from 10AM tomorrow Thursday 12th March will be DOUBLED!
Every donation received will be matched by 7-Eleven up to the value of $250.
Just for tomorrow fundraising efforts will have twice the power helping ReachOut to support twice as many young people going through tough times.
Your generosity in donating to this very worthy cause will be greatly appreciated by me and will have an hugely beneficial effect to young people who REACHOUT for help.
We can't do a lot to alleviate much of the disquiet in the world today but we can do a lot toward in making sure there is help for our young people when they need it.
