I'm swimming to save lives
- This is my first year diving
- in for youth mental health
Did you know suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia?
That means that each year more young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer.
This March, I'm swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.
By sponsoring my challenge, you’ll be helping to prevent youth suicide.
All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.
Not throwing in the towel
Tomorrow is the last day of March and the last day of the Laps for Life challenge. Apart from one day I have swam and embraced the cold of the sea. I have loved it and I want to continue to swim, although a wetsuit might be in order, as swimming helps me enjoy life more xMy Swim Progress

Inhale, pull, exhale. Buoyed by water, carried strong. Connected to all. (A haiku of support for you!)
