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 would love your support!
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.

You have got this Aunty Bec. We know you can do this. You are a fish 🐟. Brooklyn & Charli You can do anything when you set your mind to it. You are always thinking of others and how you can help. Think happy thoughts when it is getting close to the end and how much you are helping others.

Hii Bec, I just wanted to say… you’ve honestly been such a quiet, steady inspiration in my life. Not in some loud, obvious way, but in the kind of way that really matters. I look up to you so much—both in and out of what we usually do. I feel really lucky to have you in my orbit, even if you don’t always realise how much you’ve helped hold me together. You’ve given me more strength and perspective than I’ve probably ever told you, and I’m genuinely grateful for it. I really hope I get to keep learning from you—for a long time. Thanks for being you, Bec. It means a lot more than I can probably put into words. ♥

Good luck Bec. the English Channel is only 34Klms to swim. Captain Matthew Webb, the first person to swim the English Channel covered himself in Dolphin Oil, then came lanolin with vasoline. Go you!!
