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. #YouNeverRegretASwim

Swimmer
Heya friends

Here's the short of it - Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia. This March I'm swimming to raise money for ReachOut - who provide anonymous, free and 100% online services so young people can find a safe place to connect, share and get help when life feels overwhelming.

My goal is swim 10km, which is 200 laps of the 50m pool, and to raise $1000.
I'm asking for $10 - and for each $10 you donate you'll become the rightful sponsor of one of my 200 laps. Got $30 handy? That's three laps. You can also pick which number lap to sponsor - subject to availability! (yes there is an excel doc)

All donors, regardless of amount, will become members of the highly exclusive "Brad's School of Fish", which entitles you to my everlasting appreciation, and access to and the right to add to the exclusive "Brad's School of Fish" Spotify Playlist.

Annnd here's the long of it... if you're feeling especially generous, I've some extra honorary titles for the members of the School of Fish:
